Every month a sales role stays open is a month your new hire is not ramping. This tool shows you exactly what that costs against your year-end target — and whether you have enough people to hit your number at all.
Each column is a different start month. Each row is a calendar month. Watch the ramp shift right as hiring is delayed — and see the gap it creates against your 2026 target at the bottom.
Enter your quota, attainment, and ramp period. The tool shows what each month of delay costs against your 2026 target, broken down as the hire ramps up month by month.
Every week a sales seat sits empty your team falls behind. The cost is the ramp that starts later, the pipeline your other reps have to cover, and a year-end number that gets harder to reach. It also raises a harder question — do you have enough people to hit your target at all?
Use it to move faster on an open role, make the case for external support, or sense check whether your current headcount is enough to hit your year-end target. The number is yours — based on your inputs, not our assumptions.
We do not assume 100% attainment. You tell us what a realistic first year looks like. A 500k quota at 70% attainment is worth 350k in practice. That is the number we use.
New hires do not hit full quota on day one. We spread ramp evenly. A 4-month ramp means month one delivers 25%, month two 50%, and so on until fully productive.
The later you hire, the fewer months remain. A hire in March has 10 months ahead. The same hire in June has 7. That gap is what this tool makes visible.
You think in revenue, pipeline, and time. This tool speaks your language. It puts a number on what a delayed hire costs against your annual target and shows the pipeline pressure it creates.
Use it to make the case internally for moving faster, or to understand the true cost of a vacancy that has been open for several weeks.
Getting investment approved for a hire is easier when you can show the commercial cost of delay in numbers a revenue leader already thinks in. You are not asking for budget. You are showing what the business loses every month the role stays open.
The number you see is a floor, not a ceiling. It only counts the revenue this hire would bring between their start date and December 2026. It does not include any of the following.
We also assume the same candidate quality regardless of how quickly you hire. The only variable we are changing is when the right person starts.
