ESTIMATED ANNUAL TURNOVER COST
$0
Where the cost comes from
Based on 24 departures per year.
The calculator adds four cost components for every departure: recruitment and hiring costs, onboarding and training costs, vacancy coverage (daily salary × vacant days), and lost productivity during ramp-up (daily salary × ramp-up days × productivity gap). The total is your estimated annual turnover cost.
It varies widely by industry. Many organizations plan around 10–20% annually; high-churn sectors such as hospitality and retail can run far higher. If your rate is rising year on year, that trend matters more than the absolute number.
Commonly cited benchmarks range from 50% of annual salary for entry-level roles to 100–200% for senior, technical or specialized roles, once recruitment, onboarding, vacancy and productivity losses are included.

No — the four components cover replacement costs only. Exit interviews, notice-period pay, severance and legal costs vary significantly by jurisdiction and contract, so add them separately if they apply to your situation.
