What Does a Vacant Position Actually Cost?

Not just the salary you're not paying — recruiting, onboarding, and the productivity gap while the seat sits empty. Enter a salary, get an estimate. No signup.

Estimated replacement cost
$0 – $0

That's 50–200% of annual salary — recruiting, onboarding, lost productivity, and the burnout on whoever's covering the gap, not just the paycheck you're saving.

Range per SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) research on full replacement cost. Entry-level roles trend toward the low end of the range, specialized/managerial roles toward the middle, and executive roles toward the high end.

Knowing the cost is one thing. Catching it early is another.
