What your people really cost

People are the single largest expense in a growing company — and the least measured. Answer a few questions and see how much money is likely leaking through turnover, unfilled roles and an unmanaged system.

Deliberately conservative. Nothing is submitted anywhere — the calculation runs in your browser.

Step 1 · Your numbers
Fully loaded: base + taxes + bonuses
Step 2 · How your system works
Please complete every field in Step 1 and answer all questions in Step 2 — otherwise the estimate won't be honest.
Your estimated losses
per year — a conservative estimate; the real figure is usually higher
Turnover: replacing people who left (hiring, downtime, ramp-up)
Empty seats: work nobody is doing while roles stay open

This estimate uses conservative industry benchmarks: the cost of replacing one departing employee is set at 4 monthly salaries (published research puts it between 50% and 200% of annual pay). A full audit — 10 days, an owner-level report and an action plan — shows exactly where, how much and why for your company.
