How the calculator works
The missed call revenue calculator multiplies your daily call volume by your missed call rate and booking rate, then applies your average job value to show exactly how much revenue disappears every month. Enter your numbers and the loss appears instantly.
Why this happens
Home contractors miss 35% of inbound calls on average because most calls arrive between 6pm and 9am, when the office is closed or the owner is on a job site. Those after-hours calls are also the highest-converting emergency leads in the entire business.
A homeowner who calls at 8pm and gets voicemail calls the next company on their list within 90 seconds. They are not calling back.

Your numbers
Your close rate and average job value multiply directly into your missed call cost. A contractor closing 45% of answered calls at a $1,200 average job loses far more per missed call than one at a $400 average job, even at the identical missed call rate.
Speed to lead
Responding within 5 minutes produces a 9x higher contact rate than waiting 30 minutes, because most callers have already reached a competitor by then. Under 1 minute, contact rate runs above 90%; past 60 minutes, it drops to roughly 5% and the caller is gone.
| Response Time | Contact Rate | What happens | Job outcome | Revenue impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1 minute | 90%+ | Caller still on the phone or just hung up | Books in same call | Full job value recovered |
| 1 to 5 minutes | 70% | Caller waiting, still available | Books in follow-up call | Full job value recovered |
| 5 to 30 minutes | 40% | Caller has tried one other company | Competitive situation | 50% chance recovered |
| 30 to 60 minutes | 20% | Caller has spoken to competitors | Hard to win back | Low probability |
| Over 60 minutes | 5% | Caller has booked with someone else | Lost | $0 recovered |
The recovery system
Missed call text-back recovers lost revenue by texting the caller within 60 seconds of a missed call, before they dial the next company on their list. Recovery jumps from roughly 15% without text-back to 65% with it, turning a lost lead back into a live one.
Missed call text-back fires within 60 seconds. It puts you in the Under 1 Minute row for every call you physically cannot answer. That is the entire value of the system. See the lead capture automation system that recovers missed calls.
Problem
TEK Construction Group was missing 38% of inbound calls with no recovery system. Web form submissions sat for hours. Leads found through research were cooling off before the first conversation.
What we did
Installed missed call text-back within 60 seconds on all business lines. 3-touch follow-up sequence for form submissions. GHL pipeline built to track every lead from first contact to signed project.
Result
Contact rate on new leads went from 62% to 91%. Close rate improved from 15% to 23%. Same lead volume, significantly more booked projects.
91% contact rate · 23% close rate · 60 days · 38% calls recovered
