What are after-hours calls costing you?
This calculator estimates how much revenue walks away when calls come in after you close. You enter three numbers — after-hours calls per week, what a new customer is worth, and how often a call becomes a customer — and it turns them into a monthly figure.
The math is simple and shown on screen. Weekly after-hours calls × 4.33 weeks gives monthly calls; monthly calls × your close rate × value per customer gives the revenue at risk each month. The recovery line assumes an always-on AI receptionist answers about 85% of those calls, and compares the result with the price of the Starter plan. Presets for home services, dental, law firms and restaurants are only starting points — replace them with your own numbers.
Why run the numbers?
- Turn a vague worry about evening and weekend calls into a monthly dollar figure.
- Every assumption is visible — nothing is hidden behind the result.
- Weigh the cost of the gap against the cost of covering it before you spend anything.
How to use it
- 01Pick the preset closest to your business, or start from the default values.
- 02Move the sliders to your own after-hours call count, customer value and close rate. Your phone provider's call log is the best source.
- 03Read the monthly loss and the estimated recovery, then decide whether after-hours coverage is worth testing.
Frequently asked questions
From you. The calculator only multiplies the three values you enter. The presets are example starting points, not industry benchmarks.
It assumes an AI receptionist answering nights and weekends would capture about 85% of the after-hours calls you miss today. That is a modelling assumption, not a guarantee — some callers will still hang up or go elsewhere.
Any call that arrives when nobody can pick up: evenings, weekends, holidays and lunch breaks. If you're not sure how many you get, check the missed-call log from your phone provider.
