Understanding your burnout risk
Burnout is not weakness
Burnout happens to high performers, not just people who struggle. It is the result of sustained output without adequate recovery. Recognising the signs early is the strongest thing you can do — not a sign of failure.
Sleep is your burnout shield
Chronic sleep deprivation accelerates every burnout marker. Less than 6 hours per night reduces emotional regulation, increases cortisol, and makes stress feel unbearable. Protecting your sleep is the single most effective burnout prevention tool available.
High scores demand action
If your score is above 70, do not wait until you crash. Have an honest conversation with your manager, take a genuine break, and reassess your workload. Burnout that leads to a breakdown typically costs 3–6 months of recovery time.
How the Burnout Risk Calculator Works
The calculator weights three inputs: hours worked (40% of the score, scaled to a 60-hour maximum), stress level out of 10 (30% of the score), and a 20-point penalty for sleeping under 6 hours per night. The total is capped at 100.
A score above 70 is high risk, 40–70 is moderate, and below 40 is low. These thresholds are informed by the Maslach Burnout Inventory — the most widely used clinical burnout assessment framework.
