What staff turnover costs each year.
Enter your own figures. See at once what leavers cost a year, and what a lower turnover rate would save.
Formulas
- People lost per year = headcount × yearly turnover rate
- Cost per leaver = replacement share × monthly pay × 12
- Hourly pay = monthly pay ÷ monthly working hours
- Work per hire = ad cost + (interview hours + onboarding hours) × hourly pay
- Yearly cost of turnover = people lost per year × cost per leaver
- Saved per year = headcount × fall in points × cost per leaver
- The fall can't be larger than the turnover rate.
- Work per hire is within the replacement share. It is shown on its own and not added to the total.
- No currency is converted. Enter figures in your own currency.
Starting values
- SourceTurnover rate and monthly pay start from the chosen country's published figures. A field with no reliable figure stays empty. An average. Your own figure gives a truer result.
- SourceIn jobs paying under 30,000 dollars a year, replacing one person costs 16% of yearly pay. These shares come from US data. Use your own cost where you have it.
- AssumptionHeadcount, ad cost, interview, onboarding and working hours start with example values. They are not statistics.
- AssumptionThe slider starts at 5 points. It is a scenario, not an estimate of ScopeHR's effect.
