A: 'I guess you've been to New York 20 times, haven't you?

B: 'That's about right'. (If I figured it out exactly it could be 18 times or 22.)

It is around the correct amount.

I put a spoonful of sugar in your coffee? Do you want some more?
A spoonful? No, no more please. That's about right.

It’s often used to agree with a usually exaggerated statement about something mutually considered unfair, unreasonable, or ridiculous.

- He is so grumpy that he will yell at you if you even breathe near him.
- Yeah, that’s about right.
