FAQ
What does this calculator include?
Vacancy cost while the seat is empty, ramp-up cost after a new hire starts, and recruiting costs you enter. It does not invent a national average or add published benchmarks unless you type those figures in yourself.
Is this an official industry total?
No. It's a planning estimate built from the numbers you enter. Published figures, including Black Box Intelligence hard-replacement costs and the NALP Foundation associate attrition rate, are shown only as context.
How should I use this on a hiring decision?
Compare the total to what you would spend to fill the role well, including a recruiting fee if you use one. Published contingent fee pages for legal and hospitality searches are linked from the results page. Book a call if you want help running the search.
