Missed-call cost calculator

Estimate what unanswered calls might cost your practice, using your own numbers.

The starting values are examples only, not industry data. Replace them with numbers from your phone system and your books.

How it calculates

Missed calls per month = weekly missed calls × 52 ÷ 12.
Possible new patients = monthly missed calls × your new-patient %.
Lost patients = possible new patients × your never-book %.
Monthly cost = lost patients × your first-year value. Yearly = monthly × 12.

Assumptions: every missed call is a separate caller; it ignores existing-patient calls, voicemail callbacks and seasonality. Nothing you type leaves your browser. This is an estimate, not a guarantee of what any tool will recover.
