How the Numbers are Calculated

IT Labor: hours per hire × your fully-loaded IT rate. Fully-loaded rate = base salary + benefits + overhead + software tools, typically 1.5–1.7× base for a mid-level IT administrator.

Lost New-hire Productivity: a 2-day average access delay at the new hire’s daily compensation rate (annual salary ÷ 260). Based on research showing incomplete system access on Day 1 delays full productivity by one to three days.

Error Remediation: 25% of new hires generate at least one access-related helpdesk ticket in their first two weeks, averaging 1.4 tickets at 60 minutes each. Cost calculated at 75% of your IT rate (mix of junior and senior time).
