What are missed calls costing your business?
Most owners have never done this arithmetic, because the answer is annoying. Set the three numbers below to match your business — the calculator does the rest, live. Nothing is stored, nobody emails you afterwards.
The calculator
Rings-out, voicemails, engaged tone — check your missed-call list for the last 7 days if you’re guessing.
A table of two? A day’s labour? A cut and colour? Use your real average.
Your estimate — not everyone who rings buys. Be as pessimistic as you like; the number survives it.
Estimated revenue going to whoever answers instead:
£5,200
a year · £433 a month · £100 a week
Your inputs × 52 weeks. This is your arithmetic, not our claim — change any slider and watch it move. If the number is small, your phone handling is fine. If it isn’t…
What you can do about it
Four honest ways to stop the leak.
Including the three we don’t sell.
- Hire a receptionist. The thorough option — and a salary, holiday, sick cover and a rota for a phone that rings in bursts. Right for some businesses; expensive for most small ones.
- A call-answering bureau. Cheaper than staff, and fine for message-taking. But a script can’t check Saturday’s availability or book anything, so the caller still ends up waiting for a ring-back.
- Divert to your mobile. Free, and works until the reason you missed the call is that you were already busy — which, for most owners, is precisely when the phone rings.
- An AI receptionist. Answers every call, day and night, knows your services, takes and amends bookings, and texts confirmations. It’s the one we build — and the one you can hear working right now, in your browser, before spending anything.
Fair questions
About this calculator.
Where do these numbers come from?
From you. Every figure in the calculation is one you set — how many calls you miss, what a booking is worth, how many missed callers would actually have bought. We deliberately don’t pre-load industry statistics; your estimate for your business beats a generic study every time.
What counts as a missed call?
Any call that rings out, hits voicemail, or gets an engaged tone — during service, after hours, on the school run, or while you’re already on the phone. If you’re not sure how many you miss, check your phone’s missed-call list for the last seven days; most owners underestimate it.
Isn’t this just a sales tool?
It’s arithmetic — it works whether you buy anything or not. If the number is small, congratulations: your phone handling is fine and you shouldn’t pay anyone to fix it. If it’s uncomfortably large, that’s worth knowing regardless of what you do next. There’s no email gate and nothing is stored.
What can I actually do about missed calls?
Four honest options: hire someone (thorough but expensive), use a call-answering bureau (cheaper, but scripts can’t book anything), divert to your own mobile (free, until you’re the one who’s busy), or an AI receptionist that answers every call and takes bookings 24/7. We build the fourth — and you can hear one working before you spend a penny.
Now you know the number. Here’s the fix.
Type your business name into the live demo and talk to the AI receptionist that would have answered every one of those calls. Thirty seconds, no sign-up — then decide for yourself.
