ROI Calculator

Put the cost of burnout into a planning model.

Compare a baseline with a scenario you control. Key inputs are editable, and fixed factors are explained below.

This is a planning tool, not a prediction of what Daylogue or any workplace program will deliver.

How the model works

The two scenarios

The baseline multiplies team size by the burnout rate you selected. It then applies a fixed productivity-cost assumption and your turnover assumption. The adjusted scenario repeats the same math after applying your modeled change in burnout rate.

The difference between those scenarios is compared with Daylogue's annual seat cost. That produces the modeled net difference and return multiple shown above.

Fixed planning factors

  • $3,700 in annual productivity cost per person in the modeled group.
  • 75% of salary for each modeled departure.
  • The replacement factor is split across recruiting, onboarding, and open-seat productivity.

These are planning assumptions, not measured Daylogue outcomes. Replace the model with your own finance or people-operations data before using it in a business case.

Research context

McKinsey reported that one in four employees in its 2022 global survey experienced burnout symptoms. Gallup reported that employees who very often or always experience burnout were 2.6 times as likely to be actively seeking another job. These findings explain why the scenario is worth examining. They do not establish that Daylogue will cause a specific reduction.

Clear answers

Questions to ask before you use the estimate

What does this calculator estimate?

It compares a baseline workplace-cost scenario with an adjusted scenario. The result is useful for planning conversations, sensitivity checks, and deciding which internal numbers you still need.

Is the modeled change a Daylogue outcome?

No. You choose that percentage. Daylogue does not promise a burnout reduction, a retention result, or a financial return. The calculator shows what follows mathematically if the selected assumptions hold.

Why does the model start at a 25% baseline?

McKinsey reported an average of one in four surveyed employees experiencing burnout symptoms in its 2022 research. Your team may be different, so the baseline remains adjustable from 10% to 40%.

Can I share the exact scenario?

Yes. The five adjustable inputs are stored in the page URL. Copy the address after making changes and another person can open the same scenario without creating an account.

What does Daylogue show an employer?

Daylogue shows what is affecting the work, never who is struggling. Workplace views are aggregate only, never about a person, and never shown for groups smaller than five. They are not for employment decisions.

Where can I review team pricing?

The calculator selects a current tier from your headcount. Review the complete terms and seat ranges on the team pricing page.
