Who is this calculator for?
Any business where a call means a customer.
If the phone is how people reach you and every call could be a sale, missed calls are lost revenue. The industries that lose the most:
Why missed calls cost so much
When someone with an urgent problem — a burst pipe, a dead AC, a legal deadline — calls and gets voicemail, most won't leave a message. They simply hang up and call the next business on the list. That call wasn't just a lost conversation; it was a ready-to-buy customer handed straight to a competitor.
The damage compounds because the callers you miss are often your highest-intent leads: people ready to book right now. Miss a handful a week and the lost revenue adds up to a serious number over a year.
Lost revenue = Missed calls × Close rate × Average sale — every week, every month, every year.
How to calculate your missed-call revenue loss (example)
Say you miss 10 calls a week, you'd normally close 30% of callers, and your average sale is $600:
- Missed calls per year = 10 × 52 = 520
- Lost jobs per year = 520 × 30% = 156
- Lost revenue per year = 156 × $600 = $93,600
- That's roughly $7,800 every month going to competitors

How to stop losing calls (and win them back)
You don't need to answer every call live — you need a system that never lets one go cold:
- Instant text-back on every missed call, so the conversation starts within seconds
- Call tracking so you actually know how many calls you're missing and when
- Overflow routing and after-hours handling for peak times
- Fast follow-up that turns a missed call into a booked appointment
That "recoverable" number in the calculator is the revenue a good follow-up system puts back in your pocket — which is exactly what we build.
