This calculation is an indicative estimate based on the figures you enter. Real results depend on many factors specific to each clinic.
What if you reduced no-shows?
Industry studies suggest automatic WhatsApp reminders often cut no-shows by 20% to 40% (sector-based estimate; real results vary by clinic).
If you cut no-shows by even 20%, you could recover roughly:
Domeralia sends automatic WhatsApp reminders and lets patients reschedule without calling — so you reduce no-shows without your team making confirmation calls.

Each no-show is not only an unpaid session: it is room time blocked, a clinician waiting, and a slot that often cannot be filled the same day.
When the absence rate holds week after week, the effect stacks into annual revenue and a sense of a chaotic diary — even when the clinic looks “full” on paper.
Putting a simple number on the cost helps you decide whether better confirmations and reminders are worth it, before treating the problem as inevitable.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this calculator?
It is not exact. It is an indicative estimate using your own figures (or sector ranges) to show order of magnitude — not a financial report.
What counts as a no-show?
Appointments where the patient does not attend and does not cancel in time, leaving a slot unused. Exact rates vary by specialty and confirmation habits.
