How we calculate

  1. Turnover savings. Pack size × annual turnover × salary × replacement multiplier × turnover reduction fraction. The reduction is the only "BetterUs assumption" in this term.
  2. Sick-day savings. Pack size × sick days × (salary / 230 working days) × sick-day reduction fraction.
  3. Productivity uplift. Pack size × salary × uplift fraction. We use 2.5% by default — half the lower bound of published team-trust research.
  4. Net return. The three terms above, minus annual BetterUs cost. The "return on spend" multiple is gross upside ÷ cost; payback is the inverse.

This calculator is directional, not a guarantee. Real outcomes depend on adoption, manager engagement, and what your starting culture looks like. Want a custom model with your team's actual attrition + sick-day data? hello@thebetterusproject.com.
