Calculate how much mentorship can save you in turnover costs

Identify the value a mentorship program can have on your organization by increasing retention rates.

Number of participants (mentors + mentees)

Average employee salary

Average annual employee turnover rate

Turnover rates vary widely company to company but the average benchmark for US companies over the last two years is about 20% according to Gartner and Mercer data.

Cost of employee turnover (% of salary)

The costs of employee turnover vary depending on their seniority. For this calculation, we’ve set the default to 75% of the employees salary as that’s the average replacement cost for professional employees.

Reduction in turnover from mentoring

A study by Sun Microsystems found that several years after running a mentorship program, retention rates were an average of 70% versus 49% of those who didn't participate in the program. Therefore, we’ve set the default value to 30% as a benchmark to expect from your mentoring program.

Cost of employee turnover (annual)

The cost of employee turnover is calculated by first multiplying the number of employees by the avg employee turnover percentage to estimate the number of employees that will leave each year. Secondly, you multiply that by the cost of employee turnover (% of salary) to get the total cost.
