AI Support ROI Planner

Calculate your true support costs, see which tickets AI can handle, and get a 12-month savings projection. Built for budget proposals.

Know Your Real Support Costs — And What AI Can Save

Most support teams underestimate their true cost by 30-40% because they only count salaries. This planner accounts for everything: salaries, benefits, tools, overhead, and training — then models exactly how much AI automation can save based on your specific ticket mix.

Unlike simple ROI calculators that use a single "50% automation" number, this tool breaks down automation potential by ticket category — because password resets (95% automatable) are very different from complex technical issues (10%).

What Makes This Different From a Spreadsheet

  1. Category-level automation modeling — Each ticket type has a different AI resolution rate. Lumping them together gives misleading results.
  2. Overhead-inclusive costing — A $45K salary costs $56K-$63K when you add benefits, training, and management time.
  3. Compound savings — The 12-month projection shows how savings compound as ticket volume grows but AI absorbs the increase.

How GetGenius Delivers These Savings

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the automation rate estimate?
The automation rates per category are based on industry benchmarks across thousands of support teams. Password resets (95% automatable) and order status inquiries (85%) are highly standardized. Complex technical issues (10%) require human judgment. Your actual rates depend on how well your AI is trained — these are realistic starting points, not optimistic projections.
What's included in the "overhead" percentage?
Overhead includes benefits (health insurance, PTO), office/equipment costs, training and onboarding, and management time. Industry average is 25-30% on top of base salary. If your agents are remote contractors, this might be lower (15-20%). If you're in a high-cost city with full benefits, it could be 35-40%.
Why does cost per ticket matter more than total cost?
Total cost is misleading because it doesn't account for volume. A $50,000/month support bill is efficient at 10,000 tickets ($5/ticket) but terrible at 500 tickets ($100/ticket). Cost per ticket normalizes for volume and lets you benchmark against industry standards: $5-12 for email/chat, $12-25 for phone, under $1 for AI-resolved.
How does the ROI calculation work?
ROI = (Monthly Savings ÷ AI Platform Cost) × 100%. Monthly savings = Current total cost − New total cost (reduced staffing + AI platform fee). Most teams see 300-800% ROI because AI resolves hundreds of tickets for a flat monthly fee, replacing proportional agent time. GetGenius starts at $19/mo with AI included.
Can I present this to my boss?
Yes — that's exactly what this tool is for. The results include concrete numbers: current cost, projected cost, savings per month, annual savings, and payback period. Screenshot the results dashboard or use the numbers in a budget proposal. The 12-month projection is especially useful for annual planning.
