The arithmetic

How the figure above is worked out

Four steps, no rounding tricks, and one stated assumption. Check it against your own phone log rather than taking our word for it.

89%
89% is the share of that lost value we model answara booking back

Missed calls a week, times your average job value, times your booking rate. That is the revenue that walks out in a week.
A week becomes a month at 4.33 weeks, the calendar average, rather than a flat four.
answara answers the calls you are currently missing. We model it booking 89% of that value back, which is a planning assumption and not a measured average of your business.
Twelve of those months is the annual figure. Nothing compounds and nothing is annualised twice.

Calculator questions

Questions about these numbers

89% is our planning assumption for the share of missed-call revenue an always-answered line books, and it is the same figure everywhere the calculator appears. It is not a measured average of your business, and we do not present it as one. Treat the recovered column as the size of the opportunity, then measure the real rate on your own line during the trial.

A calendar month is 4.33 weeks, not four. Rounding down to four would quietly understate both the monthly and the annual figure, so the calculator uses the real number even though it makes the arithmetic less tidy.

Any inbound call nobody picks up: rings out, goes to voicemail, or gets a busy signal. Your phone system or carrier log will show these, usually as unanswered or missed. If you are guessing, count a normal week rather than your busiest one.

The share of the calls you DO answer that turn into a booked job. If ten people call and six book, that is sixty percent. It is the honest way to size a missed call: an unanswered call is only worth the job it would have become.

The inputs and the resulting figures are recorded anonymously so we can see which businesses the calculator is useful for. There is no account, no email is required to see your answer, and nothing here signs you up for anything.

answara starts at $99 a month, flat, with no per-minute billing on the plan itself. Put that next to the monthly figure the calculator gives you: for most businesses the comparison is the whole argument. 14-day free trial. No hidden fees, cancel anytime.
