An empty chair never shows up in the books, but you pay for it. Enter three numbers and you will see what no-shows cost you per year — and how much comes back from reminders alone.
Everything is calculated in your browser — these numbers go nowhere.
Lost per year
1,247,040
Per month: 103,920
That is roughly 26 lost appointments a month, or 312 a year — time you have already paid your staff and your rent for.
Automatic reminders typically cut no-shows by about 30%. In your case that is roughly 8 appointments saved a month — about 31,176 per month, or 374,112 per year. The rest stays: people fall ill, things clash, and that is normal.
An estimate based on conservative, typical assumptions — not a guarantee. How much actually comes back depends on how consistently reminders go out and how easily a patient can cancel in time (once cancelling is easy, the slot can be filled again).
Automatic reminders 24 hours and 3 hours before the appointment, one-click cancellation from the email, and a waiting list that fills a freed slot — that is the first thing I built into the practice management software I am finishing. I am looking for ten practices to use it first.
