What is slipping work costing you?
The short answer
Count the calls you miss and the appointments that do not show up each week, estimate how many of those would have booked, and multiply by what a visit is worth to you. Small weekly numbers add up over a year. This calculator does that math with your own numbers.
Run an appointment business? Count missed calls and no-shows. Any other business? Count quotes nobody followed up, hours spent retyping and chasing, and invoices paid late. Either way, see roughly what it costs you in a year.
This calculator is built only from the numbers you enter. We invent no benchmarks, borrow no industry averages, and make no promises. It shows you the math, nothing more.
Your numbers

Your phone log or voicemail count is a good place to look.
Your own guess.
Your own guess. No fix wins back every booking, so be careful here.
A rough estimate
- Bookings lost a week
- 5.4
- Lost a week
- $648
- Lost a year
- $32,400
- A fix could win back a year
- $12,960
- Bookings won back a month
- 9
How we got this
- 8 missed calls × 30% who would book = 2.4 bookings a week
- plus 3 no-shows = 5.4 lost bookings a week
- 5.4 × $120 = $648 a week
- $648 × 50 weeks = $32,400 a year
- $32,400 × your 40% = $12,960 a fix could win back
This is a rough estimate from the numbers you entered, and the percentages are your own guesses. It is not a promise. A Pilot Project is how you swap these guesses for real counts from your own business.
Want real numbers instead of guesses? A Pilot Project sets up one fix, such as call answering or reminders, and measures it for a few weeks: calls answered, bookings made, no-shows.
What it does
You enter your numbers
Pick your kind of business. Then missed calls and no-shows, or quotes that go quiet, hours spent retyping and invoices paid late.
You set the share
A few guesses only you can make, such as how many missed callers would have booked or how many quiet quotes would have closed.
You see the math
A rough yearly figure, with every step of the math written out so you can check it. A starting point for a real conversation, not a promise.
No invented benchmarks
Plenty of calculators quietly plug in optimistic averages to make the number look good. This one does not. Every figure it shows comes straight from what you type, so the estimate is only as honest as your own inputs. That is the point.
Common questions
Questions about the calculator.
How do I work out what missed calls cost my business?
Count your missed calls in a normal week, estimate how many of those callers would have booked, and multiply by the value of a typical visit. Multiply that by the weeks you are open in a year. The calculator does this for you and shows every step.
Does the calculator use industry averages?
No. Every figure comes from the numbers you type in. We add no benchmarks and no averages, so the estimate is only as good as your own inputs, and you can check each step of the math.
Do I need to give my email to see the result?
No. The result shows on the page straight away. You can ask for a follow-up if you want one, but nothing is required to see the number.
Is the number a promise of what I will get back?
No. It is a rough estimate of what slipping work may be costing you, built from your own guesses. It is a starting point for deciding whether a fix is worth it, not a promised result.
What if my business does not run on appointments?
Switch to the version for other businesses. It counts quotes nobody followed up, hours spent retyping and chasing, and invoices paid late instead of missed calls and no-shows.

Readiness Assessment
A calculator gives you a rough estimate. An assessment gives you a written list of what is costing you the most, in the order to fix it.
