Absenteeism & Productivity Cost Calculator

Estimate what unmanaged employee metabolic health may be costing your organization in absenteeism and lost productivity, and what a monitored wellness benefit could offset.

Your workforce

Assumptions below are pre-filled from published research and are fully editable. Adjust them to match your own data for a more accurate estimate.

Your total headcount, or the headcount of the group you're evaluating a benefit for.
Roughly what share of your workforce is managing weight-related or metabolic health issues. The pre-filled figure reflects general Canadian adult prevalence; use your own benefits or health-risk-assessment data if you have it.
The estimated combined cost of missed workdays and reduced on-the-job productivity per employee with a metabolic condition, based on published research. Adjust if you have your own benefits data.
Of the productivity currently lost, roughly what share a structured monitoring and support program could realistically recover. A conservative starting estimate is 15 percent.
What it would cost per employee, per month, to offer the program as a benefit. Leave blank to see gross savings only.

Your estimate

Employees with a metabolic condition --

Your total headcount × the prevalence rate you entered.

Total current absenteeism & productivity cost --

Affected employees × the annual cost per affected employee. This is what unmanaged metabolic health is estimated to be costing you today.

Gross annual savings potential --

The total current cost × the productivity recovery rate you entered. This is the value of the productivity a monitored program could realistically recover, before subtracting program cost.

This is an early-stage estimate. A pilot program gives you real numbers specific to your workforce.

This estimate uses editable, published-range assumptions for metabolic condition prevalence, per-employee absenteeism and productivity cost, and estimated productivity recovery. It is not specific to your organization's actual data, and is not a guarantee of savings or outcomes. Actual results depend on workforce composition, program design, and participation rates.
