Missed-call text-back  /  Calculator

What are missed calls costing you?

Put in your own numbers. The calculator shows the revenue that walks out the door every month when calls ring out, and what changes if a text goes back within seconds. Every assumption is visible and yours to change. Nothing is stored.

The last number is an assumption, not a promise. Start conservative. Your own text-back log will replace it within a month.

Every month

$0

in jobs lost to calls nobody answered

0 missed calls a month

0 jobs that would have booked

$0 recovered with a text back in seconds, at your assumption

$0 a year, recovered

Why the number is usually bigger than the owner thinks

Most callers who reach voicemail do not leave one. The phone log shows a missed call and nothing else, so the job disappears without a trace. The calculator counts the call, not the voicemail.

The missed calls cluster at the worst times. Lunch, after 5 PM, the first hot day of the year. Those are the calls with the highest urgency and the highest ticket.

A lost first job is also the lost repeat work and the lost review. The calculator only counts the first job. The real cost compounds.

How to get your real numbers

Calls per day: your phone system or carrier portal shows inbound calls by day. Take an average week, not a holiday week.

Missed share: the same report shows calls under 10 seconds, unanswered, or sent to voicemail. Count all three.

Average job value: last quarter's revenue divided by jobs completed.

Close rate: jobs booked divided by calls answered. If you do not track it, 30 to 50 percent is a common range for inbound service calls; use your own as soon as you can.
