How we calculate (with your numbers)

Daily salary = annual salary / paid working days = R300,000 / 250 = R1,200
Absenteeism cost = employees x absenteeism days x daily salary = 500 x 5 x R1,200 = R3,000,000
Leavers per year = employees x turnover % = 500 x 12% = 60
Turnover cost = leavers x salary x replacement cost % = 60 x R300,000 x 50% = R9,000,000
Scenario savings = absenteeism cost x 0% + turnover cost x 0% + incidents avoided x incident cost (0 x R0) = R0
Spend replaced = the lines you ticked = R0
WorkVitals = published v1 price for 500 employees on Engage Pro, graduated by band, at least the monthly minimum: R329,400 a year excl. VAT
Net position = savings + spend replaced - WorkVitals - onboarding (year one only)

Assumptions you should check

Prices are the published WorkVitals v1 list, excluding VAT. Add-ons, toolkits and services are not included.
The replacement cost of a leaver and the working days are assumptions you can change.
Savings exist only if you choose a scenario. They are not benchmarks, research findings or a promise.
