Burnout Score Calculator
Take a quick self-check for work burnout by rating six common symptoms from never to always. Your answers add up to a 0–24 score that flags low, moderate, or high burnout risk — a screening aid, not a diagnosis.
Rates and fees change frequently. Always confirm the current figures
with the official authority before relying on this result.
- Simplified self-check; not the validated Maslach inventory.
Formula
Total = sum of six items, each scored 0 (never) to 4 (always).
- You rate six burnout symptoms from 0 (never) to 4 (always).
- The six scores add up to a total from 0 to 24.
- A total of 18 or more flags high burnout risk; 10–17 is moderate; below 10 is low.
- This is a simplified self-check, not the validated Maslach Burnout Inventory.
- A high score is a prompt to rest, set boundaries, and seek support — not a clinical diagnosis.
Mostly 'often' answers
If you answer 'often' (3) to four items and 'sometimes' (2) to two, your total is 16 — in the moderate-risk band.
Frequently asked questions
What does this burnout score measure?
It gauges how often you experience common signs of work burnout — exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced sense of accomplishment.
How is the score worked out?
Each of the six items is rated 0 to 4, and the answers are summed for a total out of 24.
What counts as high burnout risk?
A total of 18 or more suggests high risk, 10–17 moderate, and below 10 low — but these bands are a guide, not a diagnosis.
Is this the official Maslach test?
No. It's a simplified self-check inspired by burnout research, not the validated Maslach Burnout Inventory.
What should I do with a high score?
Treat it as a signal to prioritise rest, set boundaries, and consider talking to a manager, doctor, or mental-health professional.
