Missed Call Revenue Calculator
Every missed call is a potential job walking to your competitor. Use this calculator to see exactly how much revenue your shop loses from unanswered calls — then decide if it's a problem worth fixing.
Your Numbers
Your Lost Revenue
Of this, approximately $3,960/month comes from missed emergency calls (at 1.5x job value).
How This Calculator Works
The math is straightforward: take the calls you're missing, apply your booking rate (the percentage you'd convert if you'd actually answered), and multiply by your average job value. That gives you the revenue you're leaving on the table every month.
This is a conservative estimate. It doesn't account for referrals from those missed customers, the lifetime value of repeating clients, or the review-building opportunity each job represents. The actual cost of a missed call is 3–5x what this calculator shows.
It also doesn't account for the fact that 78% of callers who reach voicemail won't leave a message or call back — they call the next contractor on Google. So thinking "they'll call back" isn't a strategy.
Your Top Recommendations
Improve your answer rate to 90%+ with an AI receptionist or dedicated dispatcher. Every 10% improvement captures $3,000/month in additional revenue.
Increase your booking rate with structured call scripts. Moving from 30% to 50% would capture an additional $7,040/month from currently-missed calls alone.
Your emergency call volume (25%) suggests significant after-hours opportunity. After-hours emergency calls convert at 60-80% and carry premium pricing. Consider 24/7 coverage.
