![]() ![]() Note too that this same general approach can be used to calculate year-to-date turnover. Observe also that because this is a measure of annual turnover, you need to make sure that you are only adding 12 months’ worth of individual month data together. We did NOT calculate a monthly turnover rate for each month separately.īy contrast, in Method 3, we actually calculated the turnover rates for each individual month. In Method 2, we took the total number of leavers over the whole year and divided it by the average of the average monthly headcounts. Note the key difference between Method 2 and Method 3. Calculate the monthly turnover rate for each of the 12 months of the year.How to Calculate Annual Turnover Rate: Method 3īelieve it or not, there is a third way to calculate annual turnover. Turnover_rate <- total_leaving/annual_average_count Given that a total of 27 employees left over the year, our annual turnover rate is 27/125.08 or 21.6%. Let’s suppose we do the same calculation for each month, yielding the following month average headcount for the year: 107.5, 109,111, 123, 127, 127, 133, 136, 132, 131, 133, 131.Īveraging the above monthly headcounts gets us and average of 125.08 employees over the entire year. Some companies, though, prefer to calculate the average number of employees over the year by getting the average number of employees from each individual month and then averaging those individual monthly values.Įxample 4: For January, we had 106 employees and 109 at the end, an average employee count of 107.5. In Method 1, we calculated annual turnover using an average employee count based on the just the beginning (Jan 1) and ending (Dec 31) of the year values for the number of employees. ![]() How to Calculate Annual Turnover Rate: Method 2 Plugging these values into our formula, we get 27/114.5, or an annual turnover rate of 23.6%. ![]() Using Method 1, the average number of employees over the year using just the beginning and ending values was (100+129)/2 = 114.5. However, we also ramped up hiring and expanded the size of our workforce substantially, ending the year with 129 employees. From Jan 1 until Dec 31, 27 people left the company. We just use the number of employees at the beginning and end of the YEAR when calculating the rate instead of the beginning and end of the month.Įxample 3: On Jan 1, we had 100 people. Here then, the steps for calculating the turnover rate for this period are EXACTLY the same as when we calculated them for the month. In Method 1, we measure our “average” number of employees using just the number of employees at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. How to Calculate Annual Turnover Rate: Method 1 Turnover_rate_perc_2 # show the percent value # "9.14%" Turnover_rate_perc_2 <- percent(turnover_rate) Turnover_rate_perc # show the new percent value # "9.14%" # Or converting to % using the percent function from the scales library # install.packages("scales") # install scales package if needed library(scales) Turnover_rate_perc <- paste0( round(turnover_rate* 100, 2), "%") In R, we can do either of the following: # Rounding the values and converting to a % by hand If we want to convert this to a percentage, we just multiple by 100 and slap on a “%”. ![]() Turnover_rate # multiple by 100 and add % to change decimal value to percent # 0.09137056 Turnover_rate <- total_leaving/ mean( c(emp_beginning, emp_end)) The following code snippet shows how to calculate monthly turnover rates in R using the values from Example 2. Plugging these values into the equation, I would get 9/98.5 =. The average headcount (the number of employees) from the beginning to the end of the month works out to 197/2 = 98.5. During the month, 9 employees left but 6 new employees joined, leaving me with 97 employees at the end. More compactly, I could say: # Employees Leaving in period / mean(# Employees period beginning and # Employees period end)Įxample 2: At the beginning of June I have 100 employees. By averaging the number of employees at the beginning and the end of the month, we get an average employee headcountthat more closely resembles the true workforce size. To account for this, turnover rate is normally calculated by dividing the total number of employees leaving by the AVERAGE of the number of employees at the beginning of the period and at the end of the period. Typically, though, companies both lose and gain employees. To develop our intuitions, we’ll focus first on monthly turnover.Įxample 1: If I start out with 100 employees at the beginning of June but 5 of those employees leave the company before the end of the month, then I might say that my turnover rate for June is 5% (5 out of 100 left). ![]()
