AI Receptionist ROI Calculator for Home-Service Businesses

Estimate the monthly gross-profit opportunity tied to missed phone calls. This is a scenario model—not a revenue guarantee. Use your own historical close rates and gross profit, not vendor ROI claims.

Your call economics

Inbound calls / month 300

Currently missed / unanswered 25%

Missed calls that are real sales leads 65%

Lead-to-booked-job conversion 35%

Average gross profit per booked job ($) $350

Share of missed calls AI can successfully recover 70%

Estimated receptionist software cost / month ($) $149

Scenario result

Based on your assumptions

Missed calls / month75

Recovered booked jobs / month12

Recovered gross profit / month$4,180

Net after software cost$4,031

Gross profit is used instead of revenue because a $1,000 job is not $1,000 of economic value after labor, materials and variable costs.

Important: This calculator is an internal planning model. It assumes the AI actually answers and handles the recovered calls successfully. Test emergency behavior, transfer failures and booking accuracy before relying on the model.

Formula

calls × missed rate × lead share × conversion × recoverable share × gross profit per job − software cost

For a conservative model, reduce the recoverable share and conversion rate. For seasonal trades, run a slow-month and peak-month case separately.
