You are underestimating the actual cost of parental leave.

This calculator quantifies the annual execution risk: continuity, replacement, overload.

Parental leave is where careers begin to diverge — and where companies have the power to prevent it.

This risk corresponds to delayed targets, increased managerial pressure and the risk of departure after returning.

Parental leave is where careers begin to diverge — and where companies have the power to prevent it.

Annual order of magnitude - excluding direct replacement costs.

This figure includes

Productivity disruption

Key decisions delayed, incomplete handovers, and slower ramp-up.

Pay gap without children

Post-return attrition risk

When absence and return are poorly structured, the risk of departure increases significantly.

Managerial overload

Extra pressure on managers and teams to “absorb” the absence without a clear plan.

Indicative estimate based on conservative assumptions observed in tech / scale-up teams.

Reducing this risk isn’t about trying harder.
It’s about running a system.
