Calculate your employee turnover rate for a month, quarter, year or other reporting period.
Enter your employee headcount at the beginning and end of the period, along with the number of employees who left during that period.
Be consistent about which departures you include. Turnover can include voluntary departures such as resignations and retirements as well as involuntary departures such as terminations. Internal transfers are commonly excluded when calculating organization-wide turnover.
How Is Employee Turnover Rate Calculated?
What Does Employee Turnover Rate Mean?
Employee turnover rate measures the percentage of employees who leave an organization during a specific period.
Turnover can be calculated monthly, quarterly, annually or over another period. Using the same calculation method consistently makes it easier to compare results over time.
There is no single turnover percentage that is automatically good or bad for every organization. Industry, organization size, type of work and the reasons employees are leaving can all affect how a turnover rate should be interpreted.
Results are based entirely on information entered by the user and are not professional human resources, legal, accounting, employment or business advice. Organizations should apply a consistent definition of employee turnover when comparing results across different periods.
