What is employee turnover rate?

Employee turnover rate is the percentage of employees who leave an organization during a specific period. It includes voluntary exits (resignations) and involuntary exits (terminations or layoffs) but excludes internal transfers or temporary leaves.

Turnover rate helps organizations understand:

Employee satisfaction
Hiring quality
Retention effectiveness
Workforce stability

A consistently high turnover rate may indicate issues with hiring, management, compensation, or workplace culture.

Why employee turnover matters for businesses

High employee turnover directly affects:

Hiring and recruitment costs
Training and onboarding expenses
Productivity and team morale
Business continuity and growth

Even a “normal” turnover rate can become expensive when hiring volume increases. Measuring turnover accurately allows HR teams to reduce unnecessary attrition and improve hiring outcomes.

Example: Employee Turnover Calculation (USD)

If a company starts the year with 250 employees and 25 employees leave during the year:

Turnover Rate

Turnover Rate = (25 ÷ 250) × 100 = 10%

Estimated Annual Turnover Cost

If the average replacement cost per employee (recruiting, onboarding, training, and productivity loss) is $5,000:

Estimated Annual Turnover Cost = 25 × $5,000 = $125,000

Note: This cost is an estimate. Actual replacement costs vary by role, seniority, industry, and hiring process maturity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about the Employee Turnover Rate Calculator.

How do you calculate employee turnover?

Employee turnover is calculated by dividing the number of employees who left during a period by the starting headcount, then multiplying by 100.

How do you calculate labour turnover?

Labour turnover is calculated the same way as employee turnover. It measures how frequently workers leave an organization over a specific period. Formula: (Number of Leavers ÷ Average Workforce Size) × 100.

What is the formula for turnover?

The standard employee turnover formula is: Turnover Rate (%) = (Employees Who Left ÷ Total Employees at Start of Period) × 100.

How do you calculate 90-day turnover?

90-day turnover measures how many new hires leave within their first 90 days. Formula: (New Hires Who Left Within 90 Days ÷ Total New Hires) × 100. This metric is often used to evaluate hiring quality and onboarding effectiveness.

What is the difference between employee turnover and attrition?

Employee turnover measures the rate at which employees leave and are replaced within a period. Attrition specifically refers to positions that are not immediately refilled after an employee leaves, meaning the workforce shrinks. A company can have 15% turnover but only 5% attrition if most departing employees are replaced. For budget planning, turnover tells you replacement cost; attrition tells you headcount impact.

What is the average employee turnover rate in 2025?

The average voluntary turnover rate in the US sits at 13.5% in 2025, according to Mercer's 2025 Workforce Turnover Survey, down significantly from 17.3% in 2023. However, industry variation is significant. Retail and wholesale average 24.9%, while government and education hold below 11%. Always compare against your industry's specific benchmark rather than the cross-industry average.

How much does employee turnover cost per person?

Replacing an employee typically costs between 50% and 200% of their annual salary, depending on seniority, specialisation, and hiring process maturity, according to SHRM's cost-of-turnover model. For a mid-level employee earning ₹6 LPA, replacement cost typically ranges from ₹3 to ₹12 lakhs when factoring in recruiting, onboarding, training, and productivity loss during the ramp-up period. Senior and specialist roles consistently sit at the higher end of that range.
