Turnover Cost Calculator

Calculate the true annual cost of employee turnover — with industry benchmarks, role-level data, and context your clients can act on.

Why This Matters

Most business owners have no idea what employee turnover is actually costing them.

They see a resignation letter and think "inconvenience." They don't see the recruiting fees, the lost productivity while the role sits open, the 3 months of ramp time before the replacement is fully productive, or the ripple effect on team morale. The number is almost always shocking — and it's almost always preventable.

For SMBs, a 25% annual turnover rate can quietly drain 15–20% of total payroll. That's money leaving the business every year that nobody's tracking.

💡 Your moment: When you walk into a client meeting with a real dollar figure — "your turnover cost you $180,000 last year" — you're not their portfolio keeper anymore. You're the person who sees what the P&L doesn't show. That's the conversation that turns a compliance relationship into an advisory one.
