Your Agency Details

Enter a few assumptions. We'll estimate your annual turnover cost and the impact of recapture.

Number of Caregivers Total caregivers on your roster

Average Monthly Turnover Rate (%) Example: 10% on a 100-person roster ≈ 120 replacements/year

Or: Caregivers Leaving Per Month (Count) Optional. If set, this overrides the % above.

Recruiting Cost Per Hire Net-new recruiting + onboarding (default: $960)

Estimated Recapture Rate with HHW Default: 20% of replacements come from recapture

Estimated Monthly Platform Cost Based on $5/caregiver/month. Adjust if needed.

How this calculator works

We estimate annual replacements from your monthly turnover, then compare two scenarios:

Current state: every replacement is a net-new hire at your recruiting cost per hire.
With recapture: a percentage of replacements come from former caregivers returning, with a low skills-check cost.

Why recapture changes the math

Former caregivers are your warmest leads. When their case ends elsewhere, many would return if you stay connected. Recapture reduces recruiting spend and shortens time-to-fill because you already know them.
