Travel Nurse Cost vs. Staff Retention ROI Calculator

Turn the travel-nurse line item into a retention business case the board will approve. Enter the open RN FTEs you currently cover with travel nurses, the travel bill rate, your loaded staff rate, and the retention investment you're proposing, and the calculator returns your annual travel premium, the net annual savings, the ROI percentage, and the payback period — instantly. A ROI Summary of KPI tiles and a chart drops straight into a board slide, and a scenario comparison shows conservative, expected, and aggressive reduction cases side by side. Every figure is yours — no external statistic asserted. Pairs with the NursingWorkforce app.
