1. What is Burnout Score?

The Burnout Score is calculated using standardized assessment tools like the Maslach Burnout Inventory or similar survey-based instruments. It quantifies the level of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment experienced by individuals.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Burnout Score formula:

Where:

• \( \sum \text{Responses} \) — Total score from all survey responses
• \( \text{Max Score} \) — Maximum possible score for the assessment
• \( \times 100 \) — Converts to percentage format

Explanation: This formula standardizes the raw survey scores into a percentage that indicates the severity of burnout symptoms relative to the maximum possible score.

3. Importance of Burnout Assessment

Details: Regular burnout assessment helps identify early signs of emotional exhaustion, prevents workplace stress-related issues, and promotes mental health awareness in professional environments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total responses score and maximum possible score from your burnout assessment. Both values must be positive numbers, with maximum score greater than zero.
