Use this calculator to determine your aproximate cost of hiring an employee. The Cost Per Hire formula is very simple and is based on the Cost Per Hire model developed by the Staffing Management Association (SMA) and the Saratoga Institute a few years ago.

Formula:
CPH = AC + AF + ERC + TE + RE + (TRAC * 0.1)

Where:
CPH = Cost Per Hire
AC = Agency Fees
AF = Advertising Costs
ERC = Employee Referral Costs
TE = Travel Expenses
RE = Relocation Expenses
TRAC = Total Recruiter and Administration Costs *

* Assuming that the internal recruiter and administrative staff perform other duties in the firm, the studies by conducted by SMA and Saratoga Institute concluded that a 10% figure for proration was a historical estimate of the costs involved for a hire.
