Calculate Your ROI

Our Calculation Methodology: This calculator helps estimate the financial impact of employee turnover and the potential ROI of using Objectev. All values are based on U.S. industry benchmarks, labor market data, and extrapolated turnover cost multipliers (TCMs) specific to American companies.

All monetary figures are expressed in U.S. dollars (USD).

The Turnover Cost Multiplier (TCM) reflects the cost to replace an employee as a percentage of their salary.

It includes recruiting, training, lost productivity, and onboarding costs. These estimates draw from 2025 data, where U.S. businesses face average turnover costs of $36,723 per company annually in rehiring and productivity losses, with per-employee costs ranging from 33% to 200% of salary depending on role and industry.

Note: U.S. healthcare data is based on Registered Nurse (RN) statistics and may not reflect turnover costs for other roles within healthcare. Overall voluntary turnover in the U.S. averaged 13.0% in 2024-2025, down from 13.5% in 2024, with retail at 26.7% and insurance at 8.2% (Mercer 2025). Total U.S. turnover costs businesses approximately $1 trillion annually (Gallup 2025)

Key Assumptions, Methods & Disclaimers:

Assumptions

Uniform Salary Distribution: We assume the average salary is consistent across turnover cases. The model does not distinguish between the cost of replacing entry-level, mid-level, or executive employees, though costs can rise to 200%+ of salary for specialized or leadership roles.

Flat Multiplier Model: Each industry is assigned a single TCM based on 2025 benchmarks. We do not differentiate based on tenure, seniority, voluntary vs. involuntary turnover, or factors like remote vs. in-office work—all turnover is treated equally in the formula.

Annualized Turnover Rate: The model assumes the turnover rate is annualized and steady. If your organization experiences seasonal spikes, irregular hiring cycles, or economic-driven layoffs (e.g., as seen in tech and manufacturing in 2025), actual costs may vary significantly. Inflation and Wage Growth: Estimates incorporate 2025 wage trends, where average U.S. salaries rose 3-4% nominally but fell 0.3% for low-wage workers after inflation (EPI 2025). Future projections do not account for potential recessions or labor market shifts.

Methodological Notes

Blended Turnover Costs: TCMs represent the total cost of turnover—including direct costs (e.g., recruitment fees, training programs) and indirect costs (e.g., lost productivity, team morale disruption, knowledge gaps). We do not separate these components, but 2025 data shows indirect costs can account for 60-70% of total turnover expenses in high-skill industries like professional services (Gallup 2025).

Objectev Cost Calculation: The Annual Average Objectev Cost is calculated as $36.00 per employee. This pricing model supports scalability for early-stage companies while ensuring a baseline investment for smaller teams.

Range Averaging: When salary or turnover cost ranges were reported (e.g., $10,000-$40,000 for manufacturing replacements), we used the midpoint for calculations to enable consistent TCM estimation across datasets.

Additional Statistics: U.S. turnover rates vary by industry—e.g., 78-84% in hospitality, 58-63% in retail, 38-43% in healthcare (BLS JOLTS 2025). Voluntary quits account for 70% of separations, costing businesses $1 trillion yearly (Gallup 2025). For early-stage companies, high turnover (often 20-30% above mature firms) can erode 10-15% of revenue in lost productivity alone (SHRM 2025).

Data Specificity and Limitations: TCMs are averages based on 2025 U.S. data; they may not apply to niche roles, startups with unique cultures, or regions with extreme labor shortages (e.g., chronic issues in accounting and construction per Capital Analytics 2025). Healthcare estimates focus on RN data and may not generalize to aides, technicians, or administrators. Economic Volatility: All data reflects 2025 trends, including wage inflation and labor shortages. In a volatile economy (e.g., with rising interest rates or sector-specific downturns), costs could fluctuate 10-20%. Currency conversions or international comparisons are not included, as this is U.S.-focused.

Legal and Professional Advice

Objectev recommends consulting a certified accountant, HR specialist, or attorney before relying on these estimates for your business decisions. This calculator does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice. Early-stage companies should also consider compliance with federal laws like the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state-specific wage requirements when budgeting for turnover mitigation tools.

Data Confidence: High for U.S. benchmarks from sources like BLS, Gallup, and SHRM, but estimates involve extrapolation and may not capture hyper-local variations (e.g., urban vs. rural pay gaps). Always verify with your internal data or third-party audits.
