How to use it

What this workbook does

This workbook builds the real cost of losing one employee from the ground up. It prices the time of the people involved in the exit, recruiting, and onboarding, plus the output lost while the role sits open and while a new hire ramps to full speed. You enter your numbers in the amber cells and it returns the total cost of a single departure, the share from each stage, the cost as a percent of salary, and the annual cost at your turnover

Your first 15 minutesOpen the Cost of Turnover Calculator workbook in Microsoft Excel or a free equivalent such as LibreOffice. The first tab, Start Here, walks you through every tab. Open the Cost of Turnover Calculator tab and set the pay and time basis at the top, then work down the four stages and replace the amber cells with your numbers. Everything else calculates.
