Is the calculator a guarantee of results?

No. It's an estimate based entirely on the numbers you enter: a way to size the opportunity, not a promise. Your actual results depend on your business, your callers, and how you follow up.

A missed call is a customer who reached out and got silence. Most won't leave a voicemail or call back. They dial the next business that picks up. This calculator turns that quiet leak into a number using your own inputs, so you can decide whether it's worth fixing. EchoAnswers fixes it by answering your calls, 24/7, in English and Spanish, for a flat $99/month.

How the estimate works

We keep the math simple and show every assumption so you can adjust it to your business:

Missed calls per month = calls per week × the share you miss × about 4.3 weeks.
Lost customers = those missed calls × the share that would have become a customer (your close rate).
Lost revenue = lost customers × your average customer value.

It's deliberately conservative: it only counts callers who would have booked, not every ring. Change any number above and the estimate updates instantly. This is a sizing tool, not a guarantee: your real numbers depend on your business and how you follow up.

What it would take to stop the leak

You don't need to hire a receptionist or answer the phone at midnight. EchoAnswers picks up the calls you can't (after hours, on a job, or when the line's busy), books appointments, answers your common questions, and emails you a summary of each call. It works on the number you already have through call forwarding, with nothing to install.

It's one flat price: $99/month, 600 call minutes included, then $0.50 per additional minute, itemized on every invoice. No setup fees, no contracts, 30-day money-back guarantee, and you keep your own number.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a missed call cost a small business?

It depends on how many calls you miss, how often a caller would have become a customer, and what a customer is worth to you. The calculator above estimates your monthly loss from your own numbers. For many local service businesses, even a handful of missed calls a week adds up to thousands of dollars a month.

Why do businesses miss so many calls?

Most missed calls happen when no one can pick up: after hours and weekends, when you're already on the phone, or when you're with a customer. Most callers don't leave a voicemail; they call the next business that answers.
