Employee Attrition Cost Calculator
Estimate what employee turnover really costs your organisation in rupees: recruitment, onboarding, the vacancy period and the time a new hire takes to reach full productivity. Every assumption is yours to edit.
Calculate NowA transparent formula
- Recruitment: your cost per hire
- Onboarding: your training and induction cost per hire
- Vacancy: monthly CTC × months vacant (an estimate of the value of work not done)
- Ramp-up: monthly CTC × ramp-up months × the productivity shortfall
This is an estimate built on your own assumptions. It excludes harder-to-measure costs such as lost clients, team morale and knowledge loss, so the true cost is usually higher.
Attrition is usually a hiring and management problem
Better selection, stronger first-time managers and real engagement cut turnover. In one engagement, our selection redesign cut first-day joining drops by 83%.
Talk to Us About RetentionA cost estimate vs. a VATS attrition diagnosis
This calculator gives you a headline number. In a consulting assignment, the goal isn’t to price attrition; it’s to find out why people leave, which exits really hurt, and what will stop them.
One average, one role
- A single average CTC and attrition count
- Direct costs only
- Your own assumptions
- No root causes
Root causes and a retention plan
- Attrition segmented by tenure (day one, first 60 days, first year), role, location, manager and performance level
- Regretted vs. non-regretted exits separated, so effort goes where it matters
- Exit and stay interviews plus engagement, happiness and stress surveys
- Selection validation: testing whether interviews and tests actually predict retention and performance
- Manager-level analysis, since people often leave managers, not companies
- A costed retention plan with targets and tracking
