Understand the result

Method & assumptions

For each role and scenario, multiply departures by each per-departure cost. Cash expenses, allocated internal time, vacancy contribution effects, and ramp-up contribution effects retain their separate classifications. Time value = hours × hourly allocation rate.

Hypothetical worked example

10 departures with $2,000 recruiting, $1,000 onboarding, and $500 training each give $35,000 cash expenses. $4,000 vacancy and $2,500 ramp-up contribution effects give $65,000 opportunity cost. Combined modeled impact is $100,000, not recoverable cash savings.

Scope and limitations

  • No universal salary multiplier is used. Lost contribution is a user estimate, not gross sales.
  • Low and high departure counts are sensitivity scenarios, not predicted effects of a service.
  • Avoid re-entering vacancy or ramp-up impacts already included in another tool. Zero-day vacancy or ramp-up must have zero associated contribution effect.
