What is caregiving quietly costing your business?
Employee caregiving rarely shows up as a line item — but it's there, in missed days, lost focus, and turnover. Enter two numbers to see your estimated annual exposure.

These are deliberately conservative, directional estimates and vary by industry and workforce.
We assume roughly 1 in 4 employees is an active family caregiver, and that each loses on the
order of 10 productive workdays a year to caregiving — missed days and lost focus
combined (Gallup puts documented absence alone near 7). That lost time is valued at roughly
40% of revenue per employee — not the full figure — to reflect the margin labor
actually drives, not top-line revenue. Turnover exposure assumes only a small share of caregivers leave each
year for caregiving reasons. Aponot's cost assumes ~$5 per employee per month.
