Are you spending $65+ per lead but only closing 1 in 3? You're bleeding money.
Insurance claims restoration contractors often struggle with lead costs because they compete in high-stakes markets where homeowners are desperate and lead prices are inflated. This calculator reveals your true cost per customer, factors in the unique economics of insurance work (higher job values but longer sales cycles), and shows exactly where you're losing money in your lead funnel.
Enter your current lead generation metrics below. The calculator will analyze your market position, reveal your true customer acquisition costs, and show you exactly which metric to improve for maximum profit impact.
Your Numbers
Total monthly spend on all lead sources (Google Ads, Facebook, lead services, etc.)
Total qualified leads received per month from all sources
Percentage of qualified leads that become paying customers
Average insurance claim project value (including materials, labor, and overhead)
Net profit margin after all costs (materials, labor, overhead, insurance)
How quickly you respond to new leads (affects close rate significantly)
Current time of year affects lead costs and close rates
Percentage of customers who hire you again or refer new business within 2 years
Cost Per Lead
$64
Solid cost per lead that's at or below industry average. Focus on improving close rate through faster response times rather than reducing lead costs further.
True Cost Per Customer
$354
Customer acquisition cost is manageable at 2.5% of job value, but there's room for improvement. Focus on response time—getting to leads 30 minutes faster could cut this by $50-80.
Monthly Net Profit from Leads
$46,396
Outstanding lead generation profits. You've achieved what most restoration contractors dream of. Focus on geographic expansion and consider hiring additional crews to handle increased volume.
Return on Investment
1325.6%
Exceptional ROI that indicates either perfect execution or room for massive scaling. You should be aggressively expanding market share—most contractors would kill for these returns.
Lifetime Profit Per Customer
$5,952
Solid lifetime value that justifies significant marketing investment. You're capturing some repeat business. Consider a formal referral program to push this higher.

Methodology & Assumptions
This calculator models the true economics of lead generation for restoration contractors by factoring in response time decay (leads contacted after 1 hour close at 50% the rate of immediate contact), seasonal demand fluctuations specific to disaster restoration, and the lifetime value multiplier from repeat business and referrals that's unique to the restoration industry.
Assumptions:
- Response time significantly impacts close rates based on urgency of restoration needs
- Seasonal factors affect both lead quality and close rates in predictable patterns
- Repeat business and referral rates are lower than other trades due to the episodic nature of disasters
- Profit margins account for the higher overhead and insurance requirements of restoration work
- Customer lifetime value extends 2-3 years to capture additional property damage events
Limitations:
- Does not account for geographic variations in lead costs or insurance claim values
- Assumes consistent lead quality across all sources
- Does not factor in the time value of money for jobs with extended insurance payment cycles
How the Calculation Works
Calculates true lead generation ROI by factoring in response time decay, seasonal adjustments, repeat business value, and actual customer acquisition costs versus profit per customer
responseMultiplier = Response time impact on close rates (5-min response closes 25% better than 1-hour)
seasonalMultiplier = Seasonal adjustment for lead quality and urgency
adjustedCloseRate = Close rate adjusted for response time and seasonality
costPerLead = Simple cost divided by leads received
costPerCustomer = True acquisition cost including conversion factors
lifetimeValueMultiplier = Accounts for repeat business and referral value over 2 years
