Turnover Rate Formula
The following equation can be used to calculate the turnover rate of a company.
TR = L / AVE *100
- Where TR is the turnover rate (%)
- AVE is the average number of employees over the last 12 months (or other periods)
- L is the number of employees leaving over the same period
To calculate the turnover rate, divide the number of employees leaving over a period by the average number of employees over the last 12 months.

How does turnover rate impact a company’s performance?
A high turnover rate can have several negative impacts on a company’s performance, including increased recruitment and training costs, loss of experienced employees, decreased morale among remaining staff, and potential disruption to customer service and product quality.
Can a turnover rate be too low?
