Employee Turnover Rate Calculator

Turnover rate = (Number of separations / Average number of employees) x 100. For monthly turnover, use monthly separations and average headcount. For annual, use the full year figures or multiply the monthly rate by 12.

A healthy annual turnover rate is typically 10-15%. However, this varies by industry. Tech averages 13%, retail can exceed 60%, and healthcare is around 20%. Voluntary turnover under 10% is generally considered good.

The cost of replacing an employee is typically 50-200% of their annual salary. For a $60,000 employee, replacement costs $30,000-$120,000 when accounting for recruiting, training, lost productivity, and institutional knowledge loss.

Turnover includes all employee departures (voluntary and involuntary) that are replaced. Attrition refers to positions that are not refilled after an employee leaves. High attrition reduces headcount over time.
