Enter the average number of employees over the past 12 months and the number of employees that have left over that same period. The calculator will evaluate the turnover rate of your company.

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)
