Attrition rate and cost calculator

What is attrition actually costing?

A monthly attrition figure means little until it is annualised, and nothing at all until it carries a replacement cost. Both are one multiplication away.

The formula

How this is calculated.

  1. 1Attrition = leavers ÷ average headcount
  2. 2Annualised = attrition × (12 ÷ months in the period)
  3. 3Cost = leavers × cost to replace one agent

Before you trust it

What this model assumes.

  • Annualising a short period magnifies anything seasonal. One bad month over three is not a 24% year.
