Employee Turnover Rate Calculator

Employee turnover rate measures how many employees leave within a period (usually a year), expressed as a percentage. It’s crucial because high turnover impacts productivity, morale, and costs. Understanding it helps diagnose retention issues and improve hiring/retention strategies.

Divide the employees who left by the average number of employees, then multiply by 100%. Generally, higher rates indicate more frequent departures, while lower rates signify greater stability. However, “acceptable” depends on the industry and context.

Yes, average turnover rates vary by industry. Research your industry average and compare your rate. A significantly higher rate might warrant investigation, while a slightly lower rate isn’t necessarily cause for celebration. Consider context: a startup might naturally have higher turnover than an established company.

By providing a quick and accurate turnover rate, the calculator helps identify potential problem areas. Analyze high-turnover departments or roles to understand specific reasons for departures. This data can then inform targeted retention strategies to address those issues.

Common reasons include low compensation, lack of career growth opportunities, poor work-life balance, and toxic company culture. To address these, businesses can offer competitive salaries, invest in employee development, promote flexible work arrangements, and foster a positive and supportive work environment.

Calculating your employee turnover rate has never been simpler. UpGrowth’s user-friendly tool takes the guesswork out of the equation. Just follow these steps:

• Enter the number of employees who left your company in the designated field.
• Input the average number of employees on your payroll during the same timeframe (consider the beginning and end of the period).
• Click “Calculate.”

Instantly, you’ll receive your employee turnover rate displayed prominently. Our tool also provides the employee turnover rate calculation formula for your reference:

• Employee Turnover Rate = (Employees Who Left / Average Number of Employees) * 100%

Let’s say five employees left your company in the past year, and your average number of employees was 20. Simply plug these values into the calculator or use the formula:

Employee Turnover Rate = (5 / 20) * 100% = 25%

In this case, your employee turnover rate is 25%. This means that one in four employees left your company within the year.
