See How Much Turnover is Costing You—and How Recognition Can Help You Retain Top Talent

High turnover isn’t just a people problem—it’s a profitability problem.

When employees leave, your organization pays the price—through lost productivity, recruitment costs, onboarding time, and institutional knowledge walking out the door. The Inspirus Employee Retention Calculator helps you determine exactly how much employee turnover is costing your company annually. It also illustrates how an intentional recognition and engagement program can reduce turnover, retain talent, and protect your bottom line.

Why Use This Calculator?

Because losing employees is expensive—and preventable.

The average cost of replacing a single employee can range from 33% to 200% of their annual salary, depending on the role (Work Institute). And with U.S. businesses collectively losing over $1 trillion per year to voluntary turnover (Gallup), retention has become one of the most pressing issues facing HR and leadership teams today.

But here’s the upside: organizations that prioritize recognition see 31% lower turnover, and employees who feel valued are five times more likely to stay (SHRM). Recognition isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a proven strategy to keep your best people engaged, committed, and contributing to business success.

Use this calculator to expose the hidden costs of employee churn, quantify the benefits of retention, and build a data-driven case for investing in recognition programs that create a culture where people want to stay—and grow.
