ClarityHow to use this tool
- Enter departures during period, starting headcount, ending headcount.
- Select Calculate to view the result.
- Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.
The method, explained
Average headcount = (start+end)/2; turnover = departures/average headcount × 100.
Using departures during period = 12 people, starting headcount = 100 people, ending headcount = 140 people, the result is 10 %. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
Understanding your result
Two-point average headcount approximation. Turnover can exceed 100% over long periods or where positions are repeatedly refilled.
What to keep in mind
Two-point average headcount approximation. Turnover can exceed 100% over long periods or where positions are repeatedly refilled. Use consistent currencies, reporting periods and accounting definitions. This arithmetic estimate excludes items not entered in the form.
Common questions
