Territory Vacancy
Cost Calculator

Most hiring managers underprice the cost of an open medical sales territory. This calculator quantifies what you actually lose: missed quota, surgeon defections to competitors, and downstream replacement costs.

Estimator only. Real impact varies by specialty, account density, and competitor activity.

Territory inputs

Annual quota ($)Gross margin (%)Days territory is vacant

Competitor risk

Competitor capture rate (%)Permanent share loss (% of captured)

Capture rate = revenue siphoned during vacancy. Permanent loss = portion that won't return after backfill.

Replacement cost

Recruiting / hiring costOnboarding costInterim coverage cost

How this is calculated

Daily quota = Annual quota ÷ 365
Lost revenue = Daily quota × Days vacant
Competitor capture = Lost revenue × Capture rate %
Permanent loss = Competitor capture × Permanent loss %
Gross profit lost = Lost revenue × Gross margin %
All-in vacancy cost = Gross profit lost (vacancy + permanent) + Replacement costs
