How to Calculate Employee Turnover Rate
Employee turnover rate is a critical HR metric that measures the percentage of workers who leave an organization and are replaced by new hires within a specific timeframe (usually monthly, quarterly, or annually). Understanding this figure helps businesses gauge employee satisfaction, recruitment efficiency, and organizational health.
The Turnover Formula
To calculate the turnover rate manually, you follow a simple three-step process:
Find the Average Number of Employees: (Start Count + End Count) / 2.
Identify Separations: Count the total number of employees who left during that period.
The Calculation: (Total Separations / Average Employees) x 100.
Real-World Example
Imagine a tech company, "InnovaSoft," wants to calculate their annual turnover for 2023:
A high turnover rate often indicates underlying issues such as poor management, uncompetitive salaries, or a toxic company culture. Conversely, an extremely low turnover rate might suggest stagnation. Most experts suggest that a turnover rate of around 10% is healthy, though this varies significantly by industry (e.g., retail and hospitality typically see much higher rates than government or tech sectors).
function calculateTurnover() {
var startCount = parseFloat(document.getElementById('startEmployees').value);
var endCount = parseFloat(document.getElementById('endEmployees').value);
var separations = parseFloat(document.getElementById('separations').value);
var resultDiv = document.getElementById('turnoverResult');
var percentageDisplay = document.getElementById('finalPercentage');
var detailsDisplay = document.getElementById('resultDetails');
if (isNaN(startCount) || isNaN(endCount) || isNaN(separations) || startCount < 0 || endCount < 0 || separations < 0) {
alert("Please enter valid positive numbers for all fields.");
return;
}
// Step 1: Calculate Average Number of Employees
var averageEmployees = (startCount + endCount) / 2;
if (averageEmployees === 0) {
alert("Average number of employees cannot be zero.");
return;
}
// Step 2: Calculate Turnover Rate
var turnoverRate = (separations / averageEmployees) * 100;
