How to Use the Employee Turnover Rate Calculator

The Employee Turnover Rate Calculator is a powerful tool designed to help businesses calculate the percentage of employees leaving the company over a specific period. This metric is critical for understanding employee retention and identifying potential issues. Follow these steps to use the calculator:

Step 1: Enter Number of Employees Who Left

• Input the total number of employees who left the company during the specified period in the “Number of Employees Who Left” field.
• For example:
  • If 15 employees resigned or were terminated in the last quarter, enter 15.

Step 2: Enter Average Number of Employees

• Input the average number of employees during the same period in the “Average Number of Employees” field.
• To calculate the average:Average Number of Employees=2Number of Employees at Start+Number of Employees at End​
• For example:
  • If you started the quarter with 80 employees and ended with 90 employees, the average is (80 + 90) / 2 = 85. Enter 85.

Step 3: Calculate Turnover Rate

• Click the “Calculate Turnover Rate” button to generate the result.
• The calculator will display:
  • Number of Employees Who Left : The total number of employees who exited.
  • Average Number of Employees : The average workforce size during the period.
  • Employee Turnover Rate : The percentage of employees who left.
  • Feedback on whether the turnover rate is high, moderate, or low.

Understanding the Results

• Turnover Rate : Indicates the percentage of employees leaving relative to the average workforce size.

• Example:

  • If 15 employees left and the average workforce size was 85:
    • Turnover Rate : (15 / 85) * 100 ≈ 17.65%
    • Interpretation: A 17.65% turnover rate suggests moderate turnover and may require attention.

• Feedback Based on Turnover Rate :

  • High (>20%) : Indicates significant retention issues. Consider addressing workplace culture, compensation, or career growth opportunities.
  • Moderate (10–20%) : Suggests some turnover but within acceptable limits. Monitor trends closely to prevent escalation.
  • Low (<10%) : Indicates strong employee retention. Great job maintaining a stable workforce!
