Here's What Your Culture Is Costing You

Estimated Annual Hidden Culture Cost
$598,500
Based on your inputs — see full breakdown below
*Estimate based on industry benchmarks. Individual results vary. See methodology and disclaimer below.
Turnover & Replacement
$225,000
The direct cost of employees leaving — recruiting, onboarding, productivity ramp-up, and lost institutional knowledge. Calculated at 75% of annual salary per departure.
Disengagement & Productivity Loss
$178,500
Gallup research shows ~34% of employees are actively disengaged, producing ~27% less than their engaged peers. This is the annual cost of that productivity gap in your firm.
Management Time Drain
$95,000
Leadership and management time spent managing conflict, performance issues, and culture drift — time that could be spent on growth, strategy, and client delivery.
Revenue Suppression
$100,000
Misaligned teams, inconsistent client experiences, and disengaged frontline staff all quietly suppress the revenue ceiling your business could otherwise reach.

How This Is Calculated

The TPCS Culture Cost Calculator uses a validated ROI framework developed across dozens of service businesses. Each cost driver is grounded in published research and real-world consulting data.

Turnover Cost

Each voluntary departure costs approximately 75% of that employee's annual salary in direct recruiting, onboarding, training, and productivity ramp-up costs.

Disengagement Cost

Based on Gallup's State of the Global Workplace research: ~34% disengagement rate with ~27% productivity reduction for disengaged employees.

Management Time

Calculated against the fully-loaded cost of management time spent on people problems rather than value-generating work — typically 15–30% in culture-challenged firms.

Revenue Suppression

Culture misalignment typically suppresses revenue by 2–5% through inconsistent client experience, reduced referrals, and lower conversion from a disengaged team.
