Turnover cost

What turnover is costing you.

Enter a few numbers and see the cost of losing new starters, and what keeping even a few of them would be worth. No login needed, and nothing here is saved.

A conservative estimate, and yours to change.

Defaults to the Starter plan: £49 × 12 = £588.

The headline

Losing one new starter costs you about £23,700. At your numbers, early leavers cost you £56,880 a year.

Keeping even 25% of them would save you £14,220 a year, against a cost of £588. That is 24 times your outlay.

Where the £23,700 per leaver goes

Recruitment (advertising, agency or in-house time, interviews)£4,500
Onboarding and admin (contract, IT, kit, first-week setup)£1,500
Training and the time colleagues spend teaching£3,000
Lost productivity while the new person ramps up£7,500
The gap while the seat is empty (cover, overtime, delays)£2,400
Manager time across the whole cycle£1,500
Morale drag and an unhappy leaver complaining to colleagues£1,800
Lost knowledge, rework and errors during the gap£1,500

Each line defaults to a research-based share of salary. Change any of them to match your own costs, then recalculate.

Estimates, not a promise. The cost build-up is research-based and deliberately conservative. Bookmark this page to rerun it as your numbers change.
