Missed call revenue calculator
Every call that goes to voicemail is a job that might go to the next number on the list. Enter your call volume, average job value, and booking rate to see how much revenue slips away each month, and what you could recover by answering every call 24/7.
How to use this calculator
Four quick inputs size up what unanswered calls really cost. Use numbers from a typical week.
Enter your call volume
Add up the inbound calls your business gets in an average week across every line: your main number, after-hours, and any tracking numbers. A normal week works better than your busiest or slowest one.
Estimate the share you miss
Be honest about how many calls go to voicemail or ring out: nights, weekends, when you are on a job, or when everyone is already on the phone. Most owner-operators miss more than they think.
Add your job value and booking rate
Enter what an average booked job is worth and the share of answered calls you turn into booked work. Together these turn a missed call into a dollar figure.
Read your numbers
See the revenue slipping away each month and year, what a 24/7 answering service could recover, and how that recovery compares to the monthly plan cost. Adjust any input to model your own scenario.
Turning missed calls into booked jobs
The calculator shows the revenue on paper. It only comes back when the calls you miss get answered, quoted, and booked instead of going to voicemail. Here is what to do with your number.
Missed calls do not call back
When a call goes to voicemail, most callers do not leave a message. They dial the next business on the list. Every missed call is a job that can go to a competitor who happened to pick up.
Answer every call, 24/7
Nights, weekends, holidays, and the calls that stack up while you are already on the phone: an AI receptionist answers all of them on the first ring, so the volume you miss today gets captured instead.
Quote from your own price book
Mercateer quotes standard work from your own numbers while the caller is still on the line, so a captured call turns into a real booking instead of a callback that never happens.
Book straight onto your calendar
The agent books the job onto your calendar or board and sends the details to your team, so recovered calls become scheduled work, not just messages you have to chase down later.
Answer every caller in their language
More than 30 languages are included on every call, so callers you would otherwise lose to a language barrier become bookable jobs too.
