MSP Return-to-Office (RTO) Cost & Stealth Attrition Calculator
When management announces a mandatory return to the officeβwhether 2, 3, or 4 days per weekβthe corporate announcement is inevitably framed around "spontaneous collaboration," "mentorship," and "culture."

Use this interactive calculator to model the exact financial hit on your salary, identify whether your employer's mandate is acting as a stealth attrition program, and generate a formal Section 65 Fair Work Act 2009 Flexible Working Request letter to protect your rights.
