Workforce screening savings calculator
What Is Your Expired Background Check Costing You?
A background check starts aging the moment it is complete. Enter your workforce size to estimate what continuous screening could save each year compared with traditional background checks. The result is an estimated saving, not a PostHire price.

How is this estimate calculated?
How savings are estimated
This calculator provides an illustrative savings estimate based on your workforce size. Actual savings depend on your current screening program, screening frequency, and scope. Results are estimates for planning purposes only and are not a quote or guarantee.

Put a Number on the Status Quo
Read the number this calculator returns as a saving, not a price. It estimates what continuous workforce screening takes off your annual screening spend compared with traditional background checks: the gap between the two approaches, expressed per employee per year.
It is an estimate, not a quote. To understand the potential value for your organization, start with a free 90-day look-back. We retrospectively screen your existing workforce to identify relevant criminal activity recorded during the past 90 days.
The Annual Rescreen Is the Expensive Option
- It expires on completion – A check clears the person you hired. It says nothing about what may have changed since the person was hired. An annual rescreen is the same photograph, taken less often.
- New records wait for the next cycle. A scheduled check covers what was available when it ran. Everything filed afterward waits for the next review.
- Up to 4% of a workforce – becomes involved in some type of illegal activity. Your screening cycle does not change that number. It only decides how long you wait to hear about it.
Two Worked Examples
- $240,000 a year at 30,000 employees
- $300,000 a year at 50,000 employees
- Both figures are estimated savings against traditional screening. Neither is a PostHire price.
THE CHEAPEST SCREENING CYCLE IS THE ONE THAT MISSES THE MOST.
- 98%+ U.S. Population Coverage
- Primary-Source Criminal Records
- 200,000+ New Records Daily
- 5,000+ Courts & Law Enforcement Agencies
What the Savings Number Leaves Out
- Over 90 days at a uniformed security company of 50,000 individuals, PostHire matched 957 incidents to workforce identities. The incumbent monitoring service matched 251.
- That employer was already paying for post-employment monitoring. This is not monitoring versus nothing; it is monitoring versus a service that missed roughly three quarters of what was there.
- A record filed the week after your annual check does not reach you for another twelve months. That delay is the real cost of the cheaper-looking option.
- PostHire monitors primary-source criminal records from more than 5,000 courts and law enforcement agencies nationwide, covering over 98% of the U.S. population. Monitoring can identify relevant criminal activity even when an offense does not result in an arrest.
- Zero false positives across that 90-day study. Every alert your team opened was a real record, so none of the saving goes back out the door in investigator hours.
- Notifications always include the offense description, and optionally an electronic stamped copy of the government record, which is enough to act on without a second look-up.
