Assumptions: 20% attrition reduction · 10% productivity uplift · 41% fewer absence days (CIPD/Gallup). Cost per leaver = max(33% salary, £30,614) (Oxford Economics/Unum).

Employee turnover remains one of the largest hidden costs in professional-services firms.

Research shows replacing an employee can cost around 33 % of annual salary or more than £30,000 when lost productivity and recruitment time are included.

Engaged teams, by contrast, deliver 14–17 % higher productivity, 21 % higher profitability, and up to 50 % lower turnover.

This calculator lets you plug in your own figures to create a data-driven business case for employee experience initiatives — not a guess, but an evidence-based forecast you can take to the board.
