What Turnover Is Really Costing You (rebuilt Sept 8, 2026)

Five weeks of an empty seat covered at time-and-a-half. And above all, the ramp: the months a new hire is paid in full while producing in part — $3,575 of the sample's $8,950 departure, bigger than recruiting and onboarding combined, and the line nobody logs. At four departures a year, the revolving door bills $35,800 — quietly, in overtime, ads and half-speed months.

How it works

• One Departure, Priced — six buckets, including the month-by-month ramp curve you set → the all-in cost and the months-of-pay multiple
• The Year & The Levers — your team, your honest turnover rate → the annual bill; then retention priced as a purchase: the sample's $9,360 of targeted raises avoids two departures and returns $17,900
• Keep the Good Ones — the twenty-minute stay interview (questions included), schedule stability as the raise that costs nothing, the 90-day mentor, and the truth that people quit managers and Tuesdays before they quit jobs
