How long does it take to get off the plane after landing?

On average, I would estimate about 5-10 minutes for a flight to reach the gate after it arrived if air traffic controllers are ready. Combine this with the fact that it would probably take the same amount of time to deplane and you can easily expect to get off the plane about 15-20 minutes after a flight “arrives.”
