Free Employee Turnover Cost Calculator
Calculate the total financial impact of employee turnover.
Quick answer
Turnover cost per leaver = hiring cost + training cost + lost productivity while the replacement ramps up. This calculator values the ramp-up as half of monthly salary for each ramp-up month. Multiply the per-leaver cost by the number of leavers in a year to get the total cost to the business.
