Employee Onboarding Cost Calculator Formulas

Employee Onboarding Cost Calculator: Understand the formulas behind the Employee Onboarding Cost Calculator to see how recruitment, training, administrative, and salary costs are calculated.

  1. Total Onboarding Cost:

    \[ \text{TOC} = R + T + A + \left( S \times \frac{D}{30} \right) \]

    Where \( R \) is recruitment costs, \( T \) is training costs, \( A \) is administrative costs, \( S \) is monthly salary, and \( D \) is onboarding duration (days).

  2. Cost per Day:

    \[ \text{CPD} = \frac{\text{TOC}}{D} \]

    Average daily cost during onboarding.

  3. Salary Proportion:

    \[ \text{SP} = S \times \frac{D}{30} \]

    Portion of monthly salary paid during onboarding.

  4. Cost Efficiency Index:

    \[ \text{CEI} = \frac{\text{TOC}}{S} \times 100 \]

    Total cost as a percentage of monthly salary. Categories: Low (0–50%), Moderate (50–100%), High (100–200%), Critical (200%+).

Examples Using Employee Onboarding Cost Calculator

These examples demonstrate how to use the Employee Onboarding Cost Calculator for various onboarding scenarios.

Example 1: Low-Cost Onboarding

Inputs: Recruitment Costs = $500, Training Costs = $1,000, Administrative Costs = $200, Onboarding Days = 5, Employee Salary = $3,000/month

  • Total Onboarding Cost: \[ 500 + 1,000 + 200 + \left(3,000 \times \frac{5}{30}\right) = 1,700 + 500 = 2,200 \]
  • Cost per Day: \[ \frac{2,200}{5} = 440 \]
  • Salary Proportion: \[ 3,000 \times \frac{5}{30} = 500 \]
  • Cost Efficiency Index: \[ \frac{2,200}{3,000} \times 100 \approx 73.33 \]
  • Category: Moderate (50–100%)

Result: Total Onboarding Cost: $2,200 (Moderate), Cost per Day: $440

Example 2: High-Cost Onboarding

Inputs: Recruitment Costs = $5,000, Training Costs = $3,000, Administrative Costs = $1,000, Onboarding Days = 30, Employee Salary = $8,000/month

  • Total Onboarding Cost: \[ 5,000 + 3,000 + 1,000 + \left(8,000 \times \frac{30}{30}\right) = 9,000 + 8,000 = 17,000 \]
  • Cost per Day: \[ \frac{17,000}{30} \approx 566.67 \]
  • Salary Proportion: \[ 8,000 \times \frac{30}{30} = 8,000 \]
  • Cost Efficiency Index: \[ \frac{17,000}{8,000} \times 100 = 212.5 \]
  • Category: Critical (200%+)

Result: Total Onboarding Cost: $17,000 (Critical), Cost per Day: $566.67

Example 3: Moderate-Cost Onboarding

Inputs: Recruitment Costs = $2,000, Training Costs = $1,500, Administrative Costs = $500, Onboarding Days = 15, Employee Salary = $5,000/month

  • Total Onboarding Cost: \[ 2,000 + 1,500 + 500 + \left(5,000 \times \frac{15}{30}\right) = 4,000 + 2,500 = 6,500 \]
  • Cost per Day: \[ \frac{6,500}{15} \approx 433.33 \]
  • Salary Proportion: \[ 5,000 \times \frac{15}{30} = 2,500 \]
  • Cost Efficiency Index: \[ \frac{6,500}{5,000} \times 100 = 130 \]
  • Category: High (100–200%)

Result: Total Onboarding Cost: $6,500 (High), Cost per Day: $433.33
