Ramp time cost calculator
Cohort size is one onboarding wave (people starting together), not total headcount. Add optional annual hires to scale one-wave estimates to a year—then compare payroll impact, throughput gaps, and savings from a shorter ramp.
Inputs
Model assumes productivity rises roughly linearly from 0% to 100% over the ramp window, so average capacity vs steady-state is about 50%. Annual rows scale one-wave cost by (annual new hires ÷ cohort size) as waves per year and do not model overlapping cohorts.
Ramp cost (estimated)
£48,000
Payroll-weighted opportunity cost for one wave of 8 people over 12 weeks at partial productivity (linear ramp assumption).
Throughput gap (directional)
~5,760 ticket-weeks
Rough equivalent “missing” ticket throughput vs full steady-state over one cohort’s ramp window. Use alongside your internal SLA or revenue-per-ticket logic for business cases.
Potential savings (shorter ramp)
£12,000
If training cuts ramp from 12 to 9 weeks (3 weeks saved), same linear productivity curve—per cohort wave above.
