It multiplies your appointments a week by your no-show rate to get no-shows, then by your average appointment value to get the cost. The yearly figure uses 52 weeks. The “won back” figure is your own estimate of what reminders would prevent.
Any booked appointment where the client doesn’t arrive, or cancels too late for you to fill the slot. If you usually refill late cancellations, leave those out. And if you charge a no-show fee, keep it in proportion to what the empty slot costs you, because the ACCC explains when contract terms can be unfair.
Many businesses find they help, but results depend on your clients and how reminders are sent. That’s why the calculator uses your own estimate instead of a promise.
Yes. It works for any business that takes appointments or class bookings, including salons, clinics, vets, gyms, studios and tradies who book site visits.
No. The calculator runs in your browser, and nothing is saved or sent to us.
