agntone.ca has 10 free calculators and builders for Canadian local businesses: missed call cost for any business, HVAC, dental and law firms, hire vs AI, answering service break-even, review ROI and marketing hire cost. Each runs in your browser in Canadian dollars with editable assumptions and listed sources.
These are the working calculators on agntone.ca for a local service business. Each one runs in your browser, uses defaults you can overwrite, and lists its own sources for any benchmark. None of them is a forecast: the output is only as good as the numbers you type in.
Which free calculator should I use first?
Pick the question you are trying to answer and the picker names the page to open first. Most owners start with missed calls, because the answer decides whether the other calculators matter.

How do I read a calculator result without fooling myself?
Treat the output as a range, not a fact. Run each calculator three times: once with your honest numbers, once with a cautious miss rate and once with a generous one. If the answer only works in the generous case, the business case is weak. If it works in the cautious case, it is worth a conversation.
Three habits keep the results honest. Use your own phone logs or booking data for call volume, not an industry average. Use average job or client value after discounts and refunds. Count only the revenue you would really have closed, not every call you missed.
Are the calculators accurate for Canadian businesses?
They are built in Canadian dollars and, where a rule matters, name the Canadian source: CASL for texts, provincial privacy law for call recording, and Statistics Canada or Job Bank for wages. Defaults are labelled as editable assumptions. Open the Sources section on each page to see what a benchmark is based on and when it was checked.
What should I do after I have my numbers?
If missed calls cost more than a fix would, the next step is to fix the phone first: an AI receptionist, a live answering service or a missed call text back. Our AI receptionist pricing guide lists published plans so you can compare, and the free audit checks your own call handling. For law firms there is also a scripts and templates library.
Free calculators: FAQ
Are the AGNT/01 calculators really free?
Yes. Every calculator and builder on agntone.ca is free to use and does not need a sign-up. For pricing of our own services, see the published pricing on the home page.
Do these calculators save or send my numbers?
The picker on this page runs in your browser and sends nothing. Each calculator page states what it does; none needs an account.
Which calculator tells me what missed calls cost?
Start with the missed call calculator. If you run an HVAC business, a dental clinic or a law firm, use the version for your industry, because average job and client values are very different.
Can I compare a human receptionist with an AI receptionist?
Yes. The hire vs AI calculator compares yearly cost, and the receptionist salary page shows the payroll side of a hire in Canada.
Can I change the default numbers?
Yes. Defaults are editable assumptions, not facts. Replace them with your own call logs, close rates and job values for a result that fits your business.
Is this financial advice?
No. The calculators give planning estimates only. For tax or investment decisions, speak with a licensed accountant or advisor.
