What it does
See where recruitment spend actually goes
Recruitment pricing is rarely just one invoice. Most teams spend across agencies, job boards, internal time, and repeated coordination that never shows up as a line item until the budget has drifted.
This calculator turns that into one practical estimate so the cost conversation starts from a clearer baseline.
What this tool includes
- Agency cost based on external hire share
- Ad spend across the year
- Internal hiring time cost
- Total annual cost and cost-per-hire view

Frequently asked questions
Do all hires have to go through agencies?
No. The calculator only applies the agency fee to the percentage of hires you enter.
Why include internal time?
Because recruitment is not just external spend. Internal coordination has a real cost too.
Can I use this for a small team?
Yes. It works for both low-volume and more active hiring plans.
Can I use this result as a final policy or legal decision?
No. Use the result as a practical planning estimate, then review it against your policy, legal requirements, and the specific employee or hiring context.
Is this tool designed for UK HR scenarios?
Yes. Where the calculation relies on statutory assumptions, the current version is designed around UK employment and HR conventions.
