Bradford Factor
calculator
Click or type in the boxes provided to get your Bradford Factor score.
The Bradford Factor is a simple formula to apply a relative weighting to unplanned absences. A higher score suggests that the level of absence could be having a larger impact on your business.
But remember, not all absences are equal! Bradford Factor scores shouldn’t be used as a hard metric for making disciplinary decisions.
We encourage you to think of it as a tool to help you spot potential issues within your teams and ensure they get the support they need.
Sona's employee app helps care organisations manage employee absences more effectively.

Calculate the Bradford Factor
How it works
Absence count:
The total number of spells of absence in a given timeframe (normally a rolling 12 month period)
Days absent:
The total number of days of absence for the same period
E.g. A spell of 2 days absent then a spell of 3 days absent = absence count of 2 and days absent count of 5.
