Calculator: what do absenteeism and turnover cost your company?

Absenteeism and turnover carry a cost that rarely shows up as a line in the accounts. With four figures from your company, this absenteeism and turnover cost calculator gives you an indicative estimate of what they cost you each year. If you don't have a figure, use the benchmarks for Spain we suggest, each with its source.

Stress and burnout play a part in both, but public statistics do not show how much. The calculator gives you the total cost; the rest you can find out inside your company.

What you need

• Headcount.
• Average gross annual salary (benchmark: INE Quarterly Labour Cost Survey).
• Absence rate (benchmark: 7.2% in Q1 2026, Randstad Research using INE data).
• Annual turnover and the cost of replacing one person.

What you get

• The estimated annual cost of absenteeism and turnover, separately and in total.
• An illustrative scenario: what reducing those figures by a percentage you choose would mean.
• If you want, a report with your figures and assumptions by email.

Who it's for

CEOs, CFOs and People leaders who want to put a number on a cost that is usually treated as intangible.

Indicative estimate. It does not replace an analysis of each company's own data.
