Call Abandonment Rate

The percentage of inbound calls that are terminated by the caller before reaching a customer service representative. This metric is important for understanding customer patience and the effectiveness of the call center’s queue management.

Calculation Example:

Total Abandoned Calls: 50

Total Inbound Calls: 1000

Call Abandonment Rate: (50 / 1000) * 100 = 5%
