Chatbot payback calculator
Use this chatbot ROI calculator to see how many days into the month PepQuad's $39/month plan pays for itself in staff time saved answering repetitive questions.
$39/month is covered by the ~$1,083 of staff time you save.
How to use
- 1Enter hours per week spent on repetitive questions
Add up the time your team spends answering the same questions over and over: hours, pricing, location, availability, and similar basics, whether by phone, email, or chat.
Example: 10 hours a week for a small team fielding calls and messages.
- 2Set the hourly wage of whoever answers them
Use the pay rate of the person (or people) who actually handles these questions today, whether that is a receptionist, an owner, or a shared team inbox.
Example: $25 an hour for a front-desk employee.
Tips & best practices
- Count only the repetitive, FAQ-style questions, not every customer conversation.
- Use a fully loaded hourly cost if you know it (wage plus benefits), not just base pay.
- If nobody currently answers these consistently, use your best honest estimate of the time they should take.

Payback is how quickly the staff time a chatbot frees up covers PepQuad's $39 per month cost. If your inputs show your team spends more than $39 worth of time a month on repetitive questions, the calculator estimates how many days into that month the plan pays for itself.
