usually we do not require to calculate the bandwidth in case of chat applications.
On reason is that , chat is not a continuous process and there will be no continuous use of bandwidth like in audio / video streams.
The traffic by chat application can be handled by server very easily. Typically a server can support thousands of users at the same time.
Roughly you can assume 500 bytes per second for each user for your calculations. Text is very light and 500 bytes means a big sentence of words sent each second. That sounds enough for any chat application.
