Mandamus.biz The business cost of immigration delay

Delay cost calculator

A monthly carrying cost for a stalled petition, built from figures your finance team already holds. It computes in the browser; nothing is transmitted.

What is this delay costing?

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Assumes a filing cycle at $6,000 all-in and replacement at 6 months of burdened cost. Edit those assumptions in the method.

How the model works

Three components, deliberately conservative. Blocked productivity is the burdened monthly cost multiplied by the share of the role that cannot be performed. Extra filings are the extension cycles the delay adds. Attrition risk is the probability of departure multiplied by a replacement cost benchmarked at six months of burdened cost.

Project and revenue impact is deliberately excluded. It is often the largest component and it is the one most likely to be challenged, so leaving it out produces a floor rather than an estimate — which is the number worth taking to a CFO.

The full five-component method, including what to do with project impact, is set out in calculating what an immigration delay costs your company.
