Support savings calculator.
See how much time and money an AI support agent could save your team. Move the sliders, no signup needed.
Estimate only, based on a full-time month of about 160 hours. It does not even count what you also avoid: hiring and training, cover for sick days and turnover, the time spent managing and monitoring a team, and 24/7 replies across website, email and social. That is a lot of headaches saved.
What this includes
The real cost of support is more than a wage. This tool starts from a teammate monthly salary and works out an hourly cost, then estimates the time an AI agent saves by answering the repetitive conversations across your channels, website, email and social, from your own content.
It also counts the support software you could consolidate, since one agent with a shared knowledge base can replace a stack of separate chat, help center and channel tools. And it does not even price in the biggest headaches you avoid: hiring and training, cover when someone is sick or leaves, the time spent managing and monitoring a team, and the sales you keep by answering at 2am. An agent never calls in sick and never quits.
It is a rough estimate to size the opportunity. The best way to know is to add your website, let AidEcho read it, and watch how much it answers on its own. That is free to try.
Calculator FAQ
Answers, before you ask.
What costs does this calculator include?
It turns a teammate monthly salary into an hourly cost, estimates the time an AI agent saves on the conversations it handles across your channels, and adds the support software you could consolidate into one tool.
Why start from a monthly salary?
Because that is how most teams are paid. We divide it by about 160 working hours a month to get an hourly cost. A support teammate is roughly $3,500 to $5,000 a month in the US and Western Europe, and less in lower-cost regions, so set it to match where you hire.
Does it count social media and other channels?
Yes. Use the conversations input for all the places you answer customers, including website, email and social. An AI agent can answer across them at once, around the clock.
What about management and turnover?
The numbers stay conservative and do not include them, but an AI agent also removes the cost and risk of hiring, training, cover for sick days and turnover, and the time spent managing and monitoring a team. Those savings are real, on top of the estimate.
Is this a guarantee?
No, it is an estimate to size the opportunity. Real savings depend on your content, your volume and how many questions the agent can answer.
