What do the requests that never close actually cost you?
Your missed calls, unchased quotes and no-shows have a price. Put in your numbers, adjust the assumptions, and see the full arithmetic — not a figure out of a black box.
Your numbers
Estimates are fine. The point is the order of magnitude, not the bookkeeping.
Your recovery assumptions
This is where most calculators cheat, by hiding a flattering rate. These four sliders are yours: nobody can know on your behalf what share you'd actually recover, nor what is left of an invoice in your business. The starting values are deliberately low — raise them if you find them pessimistic.
This amount is recoverable REVENUE, not profit: parts, labour and subcontracting have not come out of it yet. It is the product of YOUR numbers and YOUR assumptions — neither a promise nor a market average. Expand each line to see the calculation, and read below what remains once your margin is applied.
The ceiling you just set for yourself
Recovered revenue is not money in hand: parts, labour and subcontracting come out of it first. On $4,793 of recoverable billing per month, your 25 % margin leaves $1,198. THAT is the figure — not the first one — a system can cost before it stops paying for itself. It's your ceiling, not our price, and it is worth only as much as the margin you just entered.
How the ceiling is worked out
| Recoverable revenue per month | $4,793 |
| × your contribution margin (your assumption) | 25 % |
| = what actually remains, per month | $1,198 |
What your current way of working costs you.
The calculator above prices what LEAKS OUT. This block prices what it COSTS to operate as you do today — paid time, and overlapping subscriptions. No rate is ours: they are your assumptions, and the arithmetic is shown line by line.

The investment
Pick the offer to compare against, or enter your own figures.
Taken from your assumptions, higher up this page. One margin for the whole screen: two fields for the same question would end up carrying two answers.
⛔ The most important field in this block. Recovering a $900 invoice does not put $900 in your pocket: it puts the margin on $900. An avoided cost stays whole — margin applies to revenue only.
The subtraction
This is not a display error: with these figures, this system does not pay for itself. Adjust your assumptions, or talk to us — the offer may simply be the wrong one.
⚠️ This period is a projection on YOUR assumptions, not an observed performance. H&S has not yet delivered a client project: we have no measured payback to show you, and we will not invent one.
The setup is counted once, the recurring fee every month. The dip at the start is real: it is the part you finance.
