Missed Call Cost Calculator | How Much Revenue Are You Losing?

Q: How accurate is this calculator?

The calculator uses real industry benchmarks pulled from data across $1M+ home service businesses. The math itself is exact — missed calls × close rate × average job value × 12. Your real-world numbers will vary based on how strong your closers are and whether you charge upfront vs. financing, but most owners we work with find the calculator is within 5-10% of their actual leakage once we audit their call logs.

Q: What if my close rate is different?

Adjust the close rate slider. The default of 30% is the industry average for warm inbound calls. If you run a high-end estimating process and close 50% of qualified inbound leads, set it there. If you're earlier-stage and close 15%, set it lower. The calculator updates in real time.

FAQ

Common Questions

How accurate is this calculator?+

The math is exact — missed calls × close rate × average job value × 12. The inputs use real industry benchmarks pulled from $1M+ home service businesses. Most owners we audit find the calculator lands within 5–10% of their actual leakage once we pull the real call logs.

What's a realistic miss rate?+

Most service businesses miss 25–45% of inbound calls when you factor in after-hours, lunch breaks, jobsite noise, and call overflow during weather events. Roofing and restoration spike to 50–70% during storm season. Even with a 24/7 answering service, you're still missing 15–20% because they don't qualify or book — they just take a message.

How much does an AI voice agent cost?+

SimpliScale's AI voice agents run $1,500–$4,000/month depending on call volume, CRM integration depth, and whether you need outbound dialer functionality. Most $1M+ service businesses recover the full annual cost in the first 30–60 days from missed-call recovery alone.

How long until I see ROI?+

Most clients see positive ROI within the first 30 days. AI voice agents go live in 2–3 weeks and start capturing missed calls immediately. If you're spending $3,000/month and recovering even one $5,000 job per month that would have gone to voicemail, you're already profitable.

What if my close rate is different?+

Adjust the close rate slider. 30% is the industry average for warm inbound calls. If you have a strong estimating process and close 50% of qualified inbound, set it there. If you're earlier-stage and closing 15%, set it lower. The calculator updates in real time.
