Calculation methodology: Translation loss = LEP workers × hours/week × hourly wage × 52 weeks. Turnover cost = (turnover rate − 4%) × total workers × $5,200 per replacement (recruiting + onboarding + training). Safety incident cost = incidents × 25% (language-related share) × $41,000 average workers' comp + incident cost. UnDesked savings: 90% translation time reduction, turnover reduction to 4% benchmark, 60% reduction in language-related incidents. Estimated UnDesked annual cost based on $35/worker/month. All figures are estimates for planning purposes only. Actual results will vary.
