Gender Diversity Ratio Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the gender diversity ratio as a female-to-male ratio. In this calculator, the total number of employees is assumed to be T = F + M (female plus male).

R = F / M

Variables:

  • R is the gender diversity ratio (female-to-male ratio, F ÷ M)
  • F is the number of females
  • M is the number of males
  • T is the total number of employees (T = F + M for this calculator)

To calculate the gender diversity ratio, divide the number of females by the number of males. A value of 1.00 indicates equal numbers of females and males; values above 1.00 indicate more females than males, and values below 1.00 indicate more males than females.

What is a Gender Diversity Ratio?

The gender diversity ratio is a simple representation metric that compares the number of female employees to the number of male employees (F ÷ M). It can help organizations describe gender representation and track changes over time. Note that gender diversity can include more than two categories; this calculator uses only the female and male counts provided.

How to Calculate Gender Diversity Ratio?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Gender Diversity Ratio.

  1. First, determine the number of females (F).
  2. Next, determine the number of males (M).
  3. If needed, calculate the total number of employees (T) as T = F + M (as assumed by this calculator).
  4. Finally, calculate the gender diversity ratio using the formula R = F / M.
  5. After inserting the values and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Number of females (F) = 30

Number of males (M) = 20

Total number of employees (T) = 50

Gender diversity ratio (R) = 1.50
