Bad Hire Calculator

Calculate how much a bad hire can cost your organization

Employee turnover. Lost work days. Accidents. Inefficiency. These are just a few of the ways a bad hire can damage your bottom line. The calculator below can help you estimate the costs your company incurs for making a bad hire.

This bad hire calculator accounts for the cost of advertising the position, HR staffing costs, interviewing time and salary plus any relocation and training costs.

Insert your company hiring costs to determine how much every bad hire could impact your company. Then call ADP at 1.800.CALL.ADP, ext.411 (1.800.225.5237, ext 411) to learn how we can help you lower these unnecessary expenses.
