Employee Turnover Rate Calculator
Understanding Employee Turnover Rate
Employee turnover rate is a key metric for businesses to understand the rate at which employees leave an organization over a specific period. It helps in identifying potential issues within the company, such as dissatisfaction with management, poor work-life balance, inadequate compensation, or lack of career growth opportunities. A high turnover rate can be costly due to recruitment expenses, training time, and loss of productivity.
How to Calculate Employee Turnover Rate:
The formula for calculating employee turnover rate is as follows:
Turnover Rate = (Number of Employees Departed During Period / Average Number of Employees During Period) * 100
To find the Average Number of Employees During Period, you would typically use:
Average Employees = (Number of Employees at Start of Period + Number of Employees at End of Period) / 2
A lower turnover rate generally indicates a healthier and more stable work environment, leading to increased employee satisfaction, loyalty, and overall business success. Conversely, a high turnover rate signals potential problems that require immediate attention and strategic adjustments.
Factors Influencing Turnover:
- Compensation and Benefits
- Company Culture and Management Style
- Career Development and Growth Opportunities
- Work-Life Balance
- Job Satisfaction and Employee Engagement
Example Calculation:
Let's say a company had 50 employees at the start of the quarter and 55 employees at the end of the quarter. During that same quarter, 5 employees departed.
- Number of Employees at Start: 50
- Number of Employees at End: 55
- Number of Employees Departed: 5
First, calculate the average number of employees:
Average Employees = (50 + 55) / 2 = 105 / 2 = 52.5
Now, calculate the turnover rate:
Turnover Rate = (5 / 52.5) * 100 ≈ 9.52%
This means approximately 9.52% of the workforce turned over during that quarter.
function calculateTurnover() {
var employeesAtStart = parseFloat(document.getElementById("employeesAtStart").value);

var resultDiv = document.getElementById("result");
resultDiv.innerHTML = "; // Clear previous results
if (isNaN(employeesAtStart) || isNaN(employeesAtEnd) || isNaN(employeesDeparted) ||
employeesAtStart < 0 || employeesAtEnd < 0 || employeesDeparted < 0) {
resultDiv.innerHTML = 'Please enter valid non-negative numbers for all fields.';
return;
}
var averageEmployees = (employeesAtStart + employeesAtEnd) / 2;
if (averageEmployees === 0) {
resultDiv.innerHTML = 'Average number of employees cannot be zero.';
return;
}
var turnoverRate = (employeesDeparted / averageEmployees) * 100;
resultDiv.innerHTML = '
Average Number of Employees: ' + averageEmployees.toFixed(2) + " +
'
Employee Turnover Rate: ' + turnoverRate.toFixed(2) + '%';
