Most organisations track what they can see — salaries, recruitment fees, training budgets.

But the real cost of poor workplace well-being is largely invisible: the manager hours lost to team friction, the quiet disengagement eroding daily output, the talent walking out the door.

This calculator brings those hidden costs to the surface. Drawing on global research from institutions including Gallup, SHRM, the World Health Organization, and Deloitte, it estimates the annual financial impact of five well-documented cost areas: employee turnover, absenteeism, disengagement, management time lost to people friction, and culture drag.

The result is a directional estimate — not a financial audit — designed to give leaders a credible, evidence-based starting point for understanding what workplace well-being is really costing their team, and what could be recovered through investment.

All figures are calculated using conservative benchmarks from peer-reviewed and institutional research. Individual results will vary based on industry, role level, and organisational context.
