Onboarding Training ROI Calculator
Estimate what faster ramp-up and lower early turnover are worth to your organization: using your own numbers.
Choosing realistic assumptions
- Weeks to productivity: ask supervisors how long before a new hire works without close help. For skilled roles, 8–26 weeks is common.
- Ramp-up saved: start conservative (10–20%). Structured foundational training mainly shortens the “learning the basics” phase.
- Turnover: use your own first-year separation rate for the role.
- Replacement cost: include recruiting, interviewing, onboarding time, overtime to cover gaps and early-tenure errors.
Frequently asked questions
How is training ROI calculated?
ROI = (total benefit − training cost) ÷ training cost. Benefit includes the value of faster ramp-up (wage cost of the productivity gap you recover) and savings from reduced early turnover (replacement costs avoided).
What does it cost to replace an employee?
Estimates vary widely by role. Gallup has estimated the cost of replacing an employee at one-half to two times the employee’s annual salary, once recruiting, onboarding, lost productivity and errors are included. Use your own figures where you have them.
Are these results guaranteed?
No. The calculator is a planning tool based on your assumptions. Actual results depend on your roles, processes and how training is implemented.
