Why Use Our Calculator?

Absenteeism is a silent profit killer—but it doesn’t have to be.

When employees disengage, absenteeism rises—and so do the hidden costs to your organization. From lost productivity to overworked teams and missed deadlines, the financial and cultural impact is significant. But here’s the good news: with the right recognition and engagement strategy, you can reduce absenteeism and reclaim those lost dollars. This calculator helps you quantify exactly how much you stand to gain by turning attendance into a competitive advantage.

Productivity losses linked to absenteeism cost employers $225.8 billion annually in the United States ($1,685 per employee), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Nearly half of overtime is used to cover shifts when team members are out, according to research from SHRM.

Take control of your financial future today
