How we calculate replacement costs
Research Foundation
Our calculator uses 80% of annual salary as the replacement cost for senior roles (£100k+). This conservative estimate is based on peer-reviewed research from Oxford Economics and Unum.
The Research Shows
Average replacement cost for employees earning £25k+ (Oxford Economics & Unum)
≈ 122% of salary
Typical range for senior and specialist role replacements
Up to 213% for C-suite
Cost Breakdown
Agency fees, advertising, interviews, background checks
28 weeks average for new employees to reach optimum productivity
Lost client relationships, institutional knowledge, team morale impact
Why 80% is Conservative
For senior roles earning £100k+, research indicates replacement costs typically range from 75% to 200% of annual salary. We use 80% as a conservative, credible estimate that accounts for the higher complexity of senior positions while avoiding overstatement.
Example: A £100,000 senior role × 80% = £80,000 replacement cost
