Most agencies lose 15 to 40% of senior capacity to context-switching and unbilled hours. This calculator estimates the annual cost on public benchmarks (APA, Gloria Mark, HBR, Asana). No signup, no data collected.
What is the calculation? →
Switching tax. The American Psychological Association estimates frequent task-switching consumes up to 40% of productive time. We apply that to your senior bench at the rate you choose, over a 35-hour, 50-week year.
Unbilled hours. Industry estimates of uninvoiced billable hours typically sit between 10 and 20%; we use a conservative 12% across the whole team at the same blended rate.
The output is an order-of-magnitude estimate, not a precise audit. Use it to size the problem, not to size a P&L line.
