Ticket Deflection ROI Calculator
Self-service and chatbots don’t just “reduce tickets”—they change your unit economics. This calculator estimates how many tickets you can deflect and how that translates into monthly savings. Plug in your ticket volume, cost per ticket, and deflection rate to get net savings, payback time, and annual ROI.
How this calculator works
- Avoided tickets = tickets/month × deflection rate
- Gross savings = avoided tickets × cost per ticket
- Net savings = gross savings − tool cost
- Payback = setup cost ÷ net savings
Typical ranges (benchmark-style copy)
Most teams start with 10–20% deflection from a knowledge base and can reach 20–35% with a well-designed chatbot + good escalation.
