Training ROI Calculator

Training ROI = ((Annual Benefit - Training Cost) / Training Cost) x 100. The annual benefit is calculated by multiplying the number of employees trained by their average salary and the estimated productivity improvement percentage.

A positive ROI (above 0%) means the training pays for itself. Most organizations target 100-200% ROI on training investments. According to ATD, companies that invest $1,500+ per employee in training see 24% higher profit margins.

Common metrics include output per hour, error rates, customer satisfaction scores, time-to-completion, sales per employee, and reduced rework. Compare these metrics before and after training, typically over a 6-12 month period.

Include direct costs (course fees, materials, trainer fees), indirect costs (employee time away from work, travel, venue), technology costs (LMS, e-learning tools), and administrative costs (planning, scheduling, tracking).

Dewx OPS Hub tracks training programs, completion rates, skill assessments, and performance metrics before and after training. Dew AI identifies skill gaps and recommends targeted training programs for maximum ROI.
