Defaults are illustrative assumptions, not industry benchmarks or a forecast. Count only bookings you would otherwise lose. Contribution means job value after direct job costs.

Estimated monthly contribution after service cost

Use Calculate scenario

Expected completed jobs can be fractional in a scenario. Actual jobs are whole numbers. Break-even rounds up to the next whole job.

How the calculation works

Additional completed jobs = missed calls × eligible share × additional booking share × completion share.

Net contribution = additional completed jobs × contribution per job − total monthly service cost. Break-even jobs = monthly service cost ÷ contribution per job, rounded up.

Zero contribution cannot cover a positive service cost. Results exclude taxes, fixed overhead, capacity constraints and any costs you have not included. They do not establish that a provider caused new business.
