About this estimate: This is an indicative figure based on your answers and published national benchmarks from ONS 2025 data and the Keep Britain Working Review. Lost profit is estimated at £120 per sick day (Keep Britain Working Review, 2025). Replacement cost is estimated at £11,000 per leaver (Keep Britain Working Review, 2025). The 20% reduction is an illustrative scenario — it is not a forecast or a guaranteed outcome. Actual costs will vary.
