How much are no-shows costing your shop?

Move the three numbers below — your monthly bookings, your average ticket, and your current no-show rate — to see what a small deposit would recover for your booking funnel. No email gate, no signup wall before the answer.

Your numbers
Defaults are pre-filled with the working example from the playbook: 100 bookings × $80 × 15% no-shows. Edit any field to model your own shop, or toggle between a %rate and the raw no-show count — the math uses the equivalent rate either way, so the projection stays the same.

A small refundable deposit charged the moment a booking lands collapses no-shows into a non-event — most solo providers see a 10× swing, because the booking funnel filters to the people who actually plan to show up. Keep the deposit modest (~$10–$20 reads as a commitment device, not a punishment), wire it into your booking flow, and the line item quietly stops bleeding.

Sanity check: 100 × $80 × 15% = $1,200 — the figure the playbook walks through.
