How this AI agent ROI calculator works
This calculator estimates the return on investment of deploying an AI agent for one of four common use-cases. The math is based on the median performance of 500+ AI agents Paisol Technology has shipped across customer support, sales qualification, ops automation, and internal copilots.
We compute four things: the fully-loaded cost of handling your current interactions with people, the share an AI agent can reliably auto-resolve, the runtime cost of the agent itself, and the net savings after both.
Resolution rate assumptions
- Customer support agents: 50–80% auto-resolution (median 65%).
- Sales / lead-qualification: 40–70% (median 55%).
- Ops & compliance automation: 60–85% (median 70%).
- Internal copilots: 40–65% (median 50%).
These are conservative numbers. They assume a well-designed agent — bounded scope, clear tools, RAG over real documentation, and shadow-mode evaluation before going live. Most teams that try to DIY an agent without these steps see resolution rates 30–40% lower.
What this calculator does NOT include
- Reputational upside from 24/7 instant response
- Revenue from sales agents booking more meetings
- Compliance risk reduction from automated audit logs
- Engineering team time freed up by an internal copilot
In our experience, these soft benefits typically add another 50–100% on top of the hard savings this tool calculates.
