The Resignation Receipt
Culture isn't soft. Losing people is hard cash. See the bill.
How it works
Enter the departing employee's salary (annual).
Set the recruiting fee percentage (20% for agencies, 0% for internal).
Enter time to fill the position (weeks).
Enter ramp-up time for the new hire (months to 100% productivity).
The tool calculates the total departure tax as an invoice.
Why it matters
When an employee quits, you don't just save their salary. You pay a 'Departure Tax.' You pay recruiters. You pay for an empty seat producing zero output. You pay for a new hire who takes 3 months to learn the codebase. This tool calculates that tax. Use this number to justify your retention budget or your offsite. It's cheaper to keep them happy than to pay this bill.
The Math
Recruitment Fees = Salary × (Fee % / 100)
Vacancy Cost = (Salary / 52) × Weeks Empty
Ramp Drag = (Salary / 52) × (Ramp Months × 4.3)
× 0.5
Total Cost = Recruitment + Vacancy + Ramp
Assumptions: Empty seat = 100% productivity loss. Ramping employee = 50% productive on average.
