Price the missed rings.
A call that rings out is already part of the week you lived, and the figure should be your own.
Put your week in the boxes.
Leave every field empty until the week is yours. A blank box is not a zero, and a zero you did not count is not a number we will invent.
The lines above stay blank until every field has a number. Nothing here is a sample.
The arithmetic runs in your browser. The counts stay on this screen, and we do not keep a copy. The yearly figure uses the currency you had in mind when you typed the job worth. It is a multiply of your counts, and it is not a prediction of next year.
How to read it
Your week, stretched across a year.
The four boxes are a week you already lived, and the three results stretch that week across a year. The formula does not borrow a rate from any other company.

The week
Count the rings you heard.
Calls in a week counts the phone ringing. Nobody answered counts the ring that was not picked up. Would have been a job is your own judgment about those missed rings, and it is not a percent we supplied. What a job is worth is a typical job in the currency you already use.
-
The year
Fifty-two weeks, divided into months.
Jobs in a month takes the weekly count of calls that would have booked, multiplies by 52, and divides by 12. The year multiplies that monthly count by 12 and then by the job worth, which is the same as the booked count times 52 times the job worth. The line under the boxes repeats the steps so the total is not a black box.

The next page
The email that follows the ring.
Missed-call rescue is the system for a ring nobody picked up, and home services is the industry page when the phone is the front door. Read them once the figure is on the screen, rather than before you know whether that figure is large.
A published figure
A published share can sit beside your counts.
Invoca published on May 23, 2024 that home services businesses leave 27 percent of calls unanswered, and that under 3 percent of callers who reach voicemail leave a message. The piece is titled See How Much Missed Sales Calls Cost Home Services Businesses. Those percents are not typed into the boxes. If your week differs, the count that matters is yours. A shop outside home services can still run the multiply. Because the Invoca note describes home services calls, the industry link here is the home services page.

What the figure is
A research share, not an invoice.
The 27 percent figure is a finding about home services calls that went unanswered. It is not the unanswered count from your week, and it is not a total in currency. The voicemail line explains why a missed ring usually never becomes a message you can return.
-
What we do not do
We leave that share out of the boxes.
Putting a default in a box would make it look like your result. The boxes therefore start empty, and after you type, the only number on the screen is one you brought. A starting guess, if you want one, is the Invoca share written on paper and applied to your own call count. That guess is not an answer the calculator produced.
Questions
Before the multiply.
Which counts get multiplied?
The first result is the unanswered count you typed. Jobs in a month starts from how many of those calls would have booked, multiplies that count by 52, and then divides by 12. The year takes that monthly job count, multiplies by 12, and multiplies again by the job worth you typed. Under the boxes, a sentence repeats those steps. When a count cannot be true, for example more unanswered calls than calls that arrived, the boxes say so and they do not print a figure.
Why do the boxes start blank?
An example already filled in would look like a result that belonged to you. The only input that belongs in the boxes is a week of yours. Use a week you would recognize. Leave out a storm week and a holiday week unless you are pricing that week on purpose. When you do not yet know how many unanswered calls would have booked, keep that box empty. A guess that prints as a total is worse than an empty box.
Does the tool keep or send the counts?
No. A script on this tool reads the four fields and writes the three results in the browser. There is no call to a server, no copy of the counts that we can see later, and no request for an email. Refresh the screen and the boxes go empty. Write the number down yourself if you want to keep it.
What should a large yearly figure lead me to do?
Open the missed-call rescue page before a dialer is the next purchase. That system records a ring nobody took and follows it with an email that uses words the shop already approved, while a person still books the work. A large figure for the year is a reason to look at that job. It does not promise that each unanswered call turns into a job, and it is not a plan for staffing a night desk.
Next step
Write the email that follows a missed ring.
The calculator is the size of the week, and missed-call rescue is the job. A person on our team can look at that job with you, and the email arrives a few minutes after you send the plan.
