To calculate, follow this formula:

2. Add the number of employees at the beginning of the time period to the number of  employees at the end of the time period. Then, divide that number by two. This quotient will be your average number of employees.

3. Divide the number of employees who left during this time period by the average number of employees.

4. Multiply this quotient by 100 to calculate the turnover rate.

Note: Please only include paid employees in your count.
