Good to know
Leavers
Leavers each quarter = headcount × yearly attrition ÷ 4. Use your own past rate.
Stay flat
The hires you need only to replace leavers. Anything above that is real growth.
Cost
Average of start and end headcount × average pay × (1 + extra cost) ÷ 4, for each quarter.
Not included
Recruiting cost, notice-period overlap and ramp-up time. Our cost per hire calculator covers recruiting cost.
