How this is calculated

Revenue role. Daily revenue per seat = annual quota × attainment ÷ 365. Lost so far = daily revenue × days open × seats. Still at risk = daily revenue × days until the hire starts × seats. Ramp-up gap assumes a new rep produces half of full output while ramping: monthly revenue × ramp months × 50% × seats.

Operating role. Daily cost = overtime and temporary cover, plus the productivity lost across the people who absorb the work (their share of salary × the percentage lost). Ramp-up gap assumes a new hire is half effective while coming up to speed. The vacant salary itself is not counted as a saving, because the work still has to be done.

These are estimates for planning, not guarantees.
