How do you calculate the cost of missed calls?

Multiply your missed calls by the share that are new business, the share you would win if you answered, and the value of a new customer. For example, 600 calls a month with 20% unanswered is 120 missed calls; if 40% are potential customers and you would win 30% of them, that is about 14 lost customers a month. At $400 each, that is roughly $5,760 a month in revenue at risk. Use your own call log and close rate for an accurate figure.

Reviewed by the TalkerIQ product team · Updated

How much revenue do missed calls cost a small business?

It depends on how many calls you miss, how many of those callers are potential customers, how often you win them when you do answer, and what a customer is worth. Multiply those together — the calculator above does it for you with your own numbers.

How do I find my missed-call rate?

Look at your phone system's call log or reports for unanswered and abandoned calls, including after-hours calls and calls that went to voicemail. If you can't see them, that is often a sign you are missing more than you think.

Are the calculator results accurate?

They are estimates based entirely on the numbers you enter. They are meant to size the problem, not to predict results. TalkerIQ does not store or receive anything you type into the calculator.

How does TalkerIQ reduce missed calls?

Calls ring your team first. When nobody can answer — or after hours — an AI agent answers on the first ring, books appointments, transfers urgent callers to a person and texts back anyone who hangs up.

How are AI minutes estimated?

The calculator multiplies your missed calls by your average call length. Growth includes 30 AI minutes per user and Pro 100, pooled; extra minutes are $0.25, dropping to $0.22 over 1,000 and $0.20 over 5,000 a month.

What does TalkerIQ cost?

TalkerIQ is priced per user with no seat minimum: Starter $39, Growth $79 and Pro $149 per user per month. AI is a trial on Starter, 30 inbound minutes per user on Growth and 100 per user on Pro; Enterprise is custom. Annual billing saves up to 25%.
