Lower and higher scenarios vary the recovery rate or answer-rate improvement by 25%, bounded between 0% and 100% total coverage. Other assumptions stay fixed. These are scenarios, not confidence intervals.

How this is calculated

Extra bookings = enquiries × (target answer rate − current answer rate) × booking rate. Extra completed appointments = extra bookings × completion rate, capped at spare capacity. Net benefit = additional revenue × contribution margin − added answering cost. ROI = net benefit ÷ added answering cost × 100.

Revenue is not profit. Contribution deducts variable delivery costs; net benefit also deducts answering fees. First-year benefit deducts setup costs once. Fractional bookings represent expected averages. A zero service cost has no defined ROI; setup payback is not applicable when monthly benefit is zero or negative.

Estimates are illustrative, not guarantees. Annual estimates hold monthly assumptions constant. Calculations run in your browser; sharing puts the entered values in the link.

Frequently asked questions

What is appointment booking ROI?

This calculator divides net monthly benefit by added answering cost. Net benefit is additional revenue after variable delivery costs and answering fees; it accounts for cancellations and spare appointment capacity.
