Turn stressful weeks into measurable career signals now. Balance workload, recovery, and support with numbers. See your impact score and choose next steps wisely.
Sample entries show how different patterns affect the score.
| Profile | Exhaustion | Cynicism | Accomplishment | Sleep | Overtime | Support | Control | Recovery | Expected band |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stable | 3 | 2 | 8 | 7.8 | 2 | 8 | 7 | 7 | Low |
| Building strain | 6 | 5 | 6 | 6.6 | 8 | 5 | 5 | 4 | Moderate |
| High risk | 8 | 7 | 4 | 5.5 | 16 | 3 | 3 | 2 | High/Severe |
The calculator converts each input into a 0–10 risk value (higher means worse). It then computes a weighted average and scales it to 0–100.
Secondary indicators (productivity, momentum, turnover) are transparent heuristics derived from the main score for planning conversations.
The Burnout Impact Score summarizes how current strain may affect performance, wellbeing, and career momentum. It combines eight inputs into one 0–100 indicator, where higher values suggest greater disruption. Low (0–24) often aligns with steady energy and clear priorities, while Severe (75–100) indicates urgent recovery and workload review. Because the scale is weighted, exhaustion (20%) and detachment (15%) influence results more than any single workplace factor. The output cards translate the score into planning cues, including estimated productivity loss (0–50%) and a suggested reset window, helping you communicate needs with managers or mentors in clear, comparable terms.
Each input is converted to a 0–10 risk value. Exhaustion and cynicism are direct. Accomplishment is inverted, so a 3 becomes a risk of 7. Sleep risk is based on an eight-hour target: a two-hour deficit maps to 5/10, and a four-hour deficit maps to 10/10. Overtime is capped at twenty hours for scoring, so extreme weeks do not inflate results endlessly.
Moderate (25–49) suggests friction that can quietly reduce reliability, meeting preparation, and responsiveness. High (50–74) often shows up as missed deadlines, strained relationships, and reduced learning capacity. Severe scores can correlate with absenteeism, role dissatisfaction, and a higher likelihood of job changes, so planning conversations should include boundaries, support, and realistic timelines.
A single score is a snapshot; a three-week trend is a signal. Track weekly and compare the same work cycle. A consistent 10-point drop is meaningful, especially if driven by better sleep or reduced overtime. If the score rises by 15 points or more, treat it as a warning to simplify commitments and reassess priorities.
Prioritize two levers with the highest risk values. Improving sleep by one hour can reduce sleep risk by 2.5 points on the 0–10 scale. Cutting overtime from 12 to 6 hours halves overtime risk. Raising support or control by two points can materially shift the weighted score and protect long-term growth.
No. It is a career-planning indicator that summarizes workload strain and recovery signals. If you have severe symptoms, persistent sleep issues, or safety concerns, seek qualified professional support.
Weekly works well. Use the same time window each week, such as the last two weeks of work, to keep comparisons consistent and meaningful.
Treat a steady 10-point drop as progress, especially when sleep or overtime improves. A rise of 15 points or more suggests rising risk and calls for immediate simplification and recovery actions.
When accomplishment feels low, effort can feel unrewarded and motivation drops. The calculator inverts this rating so lower accomplishment contributes more risk to the final score.
Use the band and top risk drivers to guide conversations about priorities, staffing, deadlines, and role design. Pick two actions, track the score for three weeks, and document what changed for clearer decision-making.
Act quickly: reduce workload, pause nonessential commitments, and increase recovery time. Involve a manager, HR partner, or clinician if needed, and set a short reset plan with weekly check-ins.
