Before You Start: What You'll Need
To get the most accurate insights, you'll need a few quick numbers from your organisation. Don't worry, it only takes 2–3 minutes.
Number of employees
Average salary (Tip: You can often find this figure in your organisation's Gender Pay Gap report or annual HR metrics.)
Annual voluntary attrition rate (Look at the number of voluntary leavers over the last 12 months divided by your average headcount)
Average days lost to absence per person (Use your HR system's sickness absence report or calculate average days lost per employee annually.)
Your best estimate of current engagement levels (You can estimate based on internal engagement survey results or use our benchmark defaults.)
If you don't have everything, you can still complete the calculator using estimates — but the results will be more powerful with real data.

Risk Level
Your total hidden people cost is the sum of attrition, absence, and disengagement. Dividing this by your organisation size gives you a per-employee risk score used to assess your overall level of concern.
How Much Could You Be Losing — or Saving? Let the Benchmarks Guide You.
Gallup research shows that disengaged employees cost organisations up to 34% of their salary in lost productivity, absenteeism, and turnover.
That's equivalent to £11,900 per disengaged employee per year in the UK.

By identifying and addressing these risks early, organisations can reduce their people-related costs by up to 40%, especially when burnout, absence, and attrition are compounding.
Our calculator doesn't promise savings, it reveals the risks.
From there, our tiered support helps you act strategically based on what the data tells you.
Savings potential is based on published global data sets and varies by organisation. The calculator provides benchmark-aligned estimates to help you identify risk areas, not guaranteed outcomes.
