Free tool · Missed call calculator · By Cairns IT Guy
What do missedcalls cost you?
Every call that goes to voicemail after hours, or while you're on the tools, is a customer who might ring the next business instead. Put in your own numbers and see what missed calls cost you each month and year, and what an AI receptionist would need to pay for itself.
Estimate only, using the numbers you enter. Monthly figures use 4.33 weeks per month.
How it works
The maths, in plain English
Missed calls per week × booking rate × average job value × 4.33 = what missed calls cost you each month.
For example, 10 missed calls a week, 30% of which would have booked a $300 job, is about 13 lost jobs and $3,897 a month, or roughly $46,800 a year.
An AI receptionist answers those calls, books the work in and sends you the details, so fewer customers ring the next business on the list. Cairns IT Guy sets them up for businesses in Cairns and Far North Queensland, connected to your existing phone system.
Questions
Missed calls, answered
How much do missed calls cost a business?
It depends on how many calls you miss, how many of those callers would have become customers, and what a typical job is worth. Missed calls per week × booking rate × average job value × 4.33 gives a monthly estimate. The calculator on this page does that maths with your own numbers.
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist answers your business phone with a natural voice when you can't. It answers common questions, takes messages, books jobs in and passes urgent calls to you, then sends you a summary.
Can an AI receptionist work with my existing phone number?
Usually, yes. Cairns IT Guy connects AI receptionists to existing business phone systems, including VoIP and 3CX, so callers ring the same number they always have.
Who sets up AI receptionists in Cairns?
Cairns IT Guy, founded by Chris McIntyre, the Cairns AI Guy, sets up AI receptionists for businesses in Cairns and Far North Queensland, and supports them locally.
Is this calculator accurate?
It's an estimate based only on the numbers you enter. Count your actual missed calls for a week or two (most phone systems and mobiles log them) for a more reliable result.
