Employee Turnover Rate Calculator

Turnover rate is the number of people who left divided by the average headcount over the same period. Enter the opening and closing headcount, how many left voluntarily and how many did not, and the length of the period, and this returns the rate, the annualised rate, the two components separately and the number of hires the headcount change implies. A second action prices a single replacement from advertising, agency fees, your own team's hiring time, the empty seat, training and the ramp to full output. It carries no industry averages and no percentage-of-salary rule of thumb, so every figure in it is one you entered.
