Resource
People & Culture ROI Calculator
Estimate the cost of attrition and slow productivity—and model the ROI of improving retention and performance. (Indicative only.)
Inputs
Currency
Headcount
Average monthly salary
Annual attrition rate (%)
Replacement cost (% of annual salary)
Includes recruiting, onboarding, training, manager time, and opportunity cost (indicative).
Productivity ramp (months)
Expected attrition reduction (relative %)
Example: 10% reduction means attrition goes from 18% → 16.2%.
Disclaimer
This calculator is indicative and simplified. Real ROI depends on roles, labor market, time-to-productivity, internal processes, and baseline maturity.
