Frequently Asked Questions

What is employee turnover rate?

Employee turnover is the number of employees who leave your company during a given time period.
How is turnover calculated with an example?
You can create a simple turnover calculator in Excel to track your company’s rate over time.

Here is a simple way to create a spreadsheet that will calculate your turnover rate:

1. Create a spreadsheet with the following six columns:
- Month
- Opening Balance (Number of Employees)
- Employees IN
- Employees OUT
- Closing Balance (Number of Employees)
- Turnover Percentage
Your rows will be the names of each month.

2. Enter your data

Manually input the numbers for the “opening balance,” “employees In,” and “employees out” columns.

3. Input formulas

Calculate the closing balance by adding the opening balance and the employees who joined, then subtracting the number of employees who left.

Given that the employee turnover rate equals the number of employees who left divided by the average number of employees working during that period, the formula ends up being =(D2/((B2+E2)/2)). To get the number in percentage form, select the column, then press the percentage button in the toolbar. This will automatically calculate the turnover percentage.
