Use a number with its context.
Use a defined period and a consistent definition of departure before comparing rates. The figure signals a question to investigate; it does not explain why people leave.

Quick answer
How this calculator works
Enter the number of employee departures during the period and the average headcount. The calculator expresses departures as a percentage of average headcount.
Turnover rate = employee departures ÷ average headcount × 100.
Assumptions
- This is a simple turnover-rate calculation, not a retention diagnosis.
- The period and departure definition must stay consistent for comparisons.
- Average headcount should reflect the same period as departures.
Questions people ask
Employee turnover rate calculator FAQs
What is average headcount?
For a simple period calculation, add opening and closing headcount and divide by two. Use a more detailed average if your reporting policy requires it.
Should I include every departure?
Use the definition your organisation has agreed, then apply it consistently across every reporting period.
