What is slow ramp
actually costing you?
Most leaders know ramp is too slow. Very few know the exact financial cost. This calculator quantifies it — and shows what a focused intervention could recover.
How we calculate ramp cost
Ramp cost isn't just salary during ramp. It includes the fully-loaded cost of the employee (benefits, tools, management overhead — approximately 1.3x base salary) plus the revenue they should be generating but aren't yet. We model productivity as a curve, not a cliff — reps don't go from 0% to 100% overnight.
Why 30% ramp reduction?
Our average client engagement reduces ramp time by 30–50%. We use the conservative end for this calculator. The reduction comes from structured onboarding, manager coaching frameworks, competency milestones, and early warning systems — not from pushing reps harder, but from removing the friction that slows them down.
