How much are no-shows actually costing you? Use our calculator.
Plug in your numbers, see the leak. Most clinics are shocked.
Published 5 April 2026 · by the ChatBooker team
Why owners under-count
You count the empty slot. You don't count:
- The time spent finding a replacement.
- The follow-up texts your reception had to send.
- The LTV of a client who no-shows once and never rebooks (that's 60-70% of them).
Use the calculator
We built a free no-show calculator that takes the LTV into account. Most clinics realise they're losing 3-5x what they thought.
What to do with the number
If it's over $2k/month, an AI receptionist with no-show recovery pays for itself in 2 weeks. Here's the setup.
Stop reading. Start booking.
ChatBooker is the AI receptionist that does what we just described.
