What is a covered day actually worth to you?
Industry benchmark is 8–15%. We plan against 12%.
Coverage, overtime and lost output combined. Your finance team will have a number for this.
Pricing is a placeholder. This model assumes a $1.50 per-employee-per-month platform fee and $150 per use. Those are illustrative until our rate card is published — ask on the demo and we’ll give you the real number.
Estimated annual value

Employees who'd use it
92
of 770 with caregiving responsibilities
Show the arithmetic
- 1,400 employees × 55% with caregiving responsibilities = 770 eligible
- × 12% utilisation = 92 employees using the benefit
- × 2.4 uses each = 221 days covered
- × $500 per absence day = $110,500 in value
- Cost: $25,200 platform + $33,150 usage = $58,350

Method
What this model does and doesn't count.
What it counts: unplanned absence days converted into worked days. That is the one effect that is unambiguous, measurable after the fact, and defensible in a budget conversation.
What it deliberately leaves out: retention. Caregiving employees who repeatedly can’t find coverage are among the most likely to leave, and replacing a mid-career employee costs a substantial multiple of their salary. That effect is almost certainly larger than the absence effect — and it is much harder to attribute honestly, so we don’t put it in the headline number. Consider it upside the model isn’t claiming.
What it also leaves out: recruiting value, presenteeism, and the days when someone works but badly because they’re managing a crisis by phone. All real, none reliably countable.
Where the defaults come from: published category benchmarks for utilisation (8–15%) and our own planning assumptions elsewhere. Every default is a placeholder pending a citable source — flagged in the code as such, and replaced before this page carries real traffic. Put your own numbers in; they’re better than ours.
Now get the real price.
