The cost of a vacant position consists of soft costs (e.g. employee dissatisfaction, stress, etc.) and hard costs. The hard costs describe the loss of productivity due to the vacancy and can be calculated as follows Gross annual salary / Ø days worked x Ø time to fill x factor for the importance of the position factor 1 (necessary but not important); 2, (important) or 3 (essential)).

Determination of the Total Number of Vacant Positions
The total number of vacant positions is needed to determine the total potential. It should be noted that each position incurs different vacancy costs.

Determination of the Total Potential
The total potential is calculated by multiplying the number of vacant positions by the respective vacancy costs of the position.

RoI Calculation
To determine the savings potential, it is necessary to determine how many jobs can be saved by the measure. The cost is calculated from the number of jobs and the cost per job. This is compared to the cost of the measure.
