How to use this

Start with your organization numbers on the left. Then open each numbered tab, enter your data for that metric, and set a target. The totals at the top update as you type, and the Summary tab collects everything into one table you can copy.

Every value is an input you can replace. Defaults match the examples in the blog post. Replacement cost of 50% to 200% of salary is the Gallup range as summarized by Qooper. The 39-day default for time to fill is the median for nonexecutive roles in the SHRM 2025 recruiting benchmarking brief. Engagement context comes from the Gallup 2026 State of the Global Workplace release. Results are estimates for planning and are not financial advice.
