Missed call cost calculator

What missed calls cost is the arithmetic you put in.

This page multiplies three numbers you control: how many calls you miss in a week, how many of those you believe you would have booked, and what that job is worth. The result is an example monthly figure. It is not Ava’s prediction.

THE CALLS

Built around owners who want a missed-call figure without a fake industry average.

Most “missed call statistics” on vendor sites are unsourced or about a different industry. We are not repeating them. If you do not know your missed-call count, check the phone’s recent calls for a normal week and type what you see. If you do not know the booking rate, the default “1 in 4” is a knob, not a finding.

01

Calls that rang while you were on a job

Ava asks what you approved, then texts you. She does not invent a price.

02

After-hours rings

Ava asks what you approved, then texts you. She does not invent a price.

03

Calls that went to voicemail and never called back

Ava asks what you approved, then texts you. She does not invent a price.

04

Overflow when you were already on the phone

Ava asks what you approved, then texts you. She does not invent a price.

05

The ones you would not have wanted anyway — leave those out

Ava asks what you approved, then texts you. She does not invent a price.

Ava Starter is $79/month after the 7-day trial. Growth is $149. Pro is $299. The calculator does not subtract the plan, so you can compare the two figures yourself.

QUALIFICATION

Details worth a callback

  • Count a week you recognize
  • Decide the booking assumption yourself
  • Use a job value you have actually charged
  • Read the formula under the result
  • Compare it with $79, $149, or $299 a month
MISSED-CALL MATH

How the formula works

Monthly example = missed calls per week × (1 ÷ “1 in N”) × job value × 52 ÷ 12. The 52 ÷ 12 step turns a week into a month. It assumes every week looks like the week you typed. It ignores seasonality, capacity, and the calls you would have turned down. Ava Starter is $79 a month after the 7-day trial. The calculator does not subtract that for you, so you can see both numbers.

FAQ

Questions before you forward the phone.

Why is there no official missed-call percentage?

Because we do not have a defensible one for plumbers, roofers, or dentists. A percentage from an answering-service ad is not a source. Your call log is.

Does a bigger result mean Ava will make that money?

No. It means that is what your assumptions are worth if they are true. Some of those callers would have been price shopping, tire kickers, or outside your area.

What should I do with the number?

If it is large next to $79 a month, hear the sample call and start a trial. If it is tiny, you may not need this. The calculator is allowed to talk you out of it.
