How we calculate this
- Empty seat: annual pay × a value multiplier ÷ 260 working days × working days empty. The multiplier reflects the value a leader creates compared with their pay: Director 1.5×, VP / Head 2×, CXO 3×. Method based on the standard cost-of-vacancy formula (Upwork).
- Wrong hire: 200% of annual pay, with 400% as the upper end, based on NFP's 2024 executive compensation report (Fortune).
- Notice periods: typical market practice for senior roles in each region.
