Training ROI Calculator

Estimate the real cost of your current training program.

A quick model that puts numbers on what most L&D teams already feel: spreadsheets, manual reminders, and inconsistent onboarding cost more than they look. Move the sliders to match your reality.

How the math works

The model behind the numbers.

No magic. Just three levers most training programs underestimate.

01
Admin overhead
Hours per month × hourly rate × 12. Most teams underestimate this by 30-50% because admin work happens in 5-minute pockets that nobody tracks.
02
Slow-ramp opportunity cost
Each week of slow ramp × loaded cost of a new hire ÷ 52 × annual new hires. Structured onboarding programs reduce ramp time by 30-50% (Brandon Hall).
03
Audit + compliance risk
Not modeled here, because it's binary — a single failed audit can cost more than a decade of admin hours combined. We've left it out to keep numbers conservative.
