How to Calculate Employee Turnover Rate
Formula
Turnover Rate = (Separations / Average Headcount) x 100 Average Headcount = (Beginning + Ending Headcount) / 2
Turnover captures both voluntary departures (resignations) and involuntary ones (terminations, layoffs). High turnover drains institutional knowledge, disrupts teams, and increases recruiting and training costs. Tracking turnover by department, tenure, and role uncovers patterns that targeted retention strategies can address.
Example Calculation
A company starts the year with 200 employees, ends with 210, and 12 employees left during the year.
- 01Average Headcount = (200 + 210) / 2 = 205
- 02Turnover Rate = (12 / 205) x 100 = 5.85%
- 03Retention Rate = (1 - 12/205) x 100 = 94.15%
