No-Show Cost Calculator (How Much Are You Losing Each Month?)

Every no-show is a slot you can''t resell, a tech that drove out for nothing, and a billing event that didn''t happen. Most service businesses lose 5-15% of their booked revenue to no-shows.

This calculator quantifies it.

How it works

Three inputs:

1. Your average revenue per appointment
2. Your average no-show rate (or 10% if you''re unsure)
3. Your number of bookings per month

Output:

• Estimated monthly revenue lost to no-shows
• Estimated annual revenue lost

What we see

A med spa doing 100 bookings/month at $400 average ticket with a 12% no-show rate is losing $4,800/month. Almost $58K/year.

A dental practice doing 200 bookings/month at $300 average ticket with an 8% no-show rate is losing $4,800/month. Same $58K/year.

The fix

Most no-shows happen because the customer forgot. SMS reminders cut no-show rates by 50-70%.

The system:

• 24h SMS reminder with date, time, and a 1-tap reschedule link
• 1h SMS reminder for high-stakes appointments (medical, high-ticket)
• Optional voice call reminder for clients who don''t respond to SMS

That''s the difference between an 8% no-show rate and a 3% one.
