Dear Pankaj,
Hope this formula gives you a clear idea.
(The formula and correct logic behind the calculation of ATTRITION RATE):
((No. Of Attritions x 100) / (Actual Employees + New Joined)) / 100.
Example:
1) Actual Employees / No. Of people left / No. Of people Joined / Total Employees
150 20 25 155
So according to the formula: ((20 x 100) / (150 + 25)) / 100
Which comes to 0.1142 i.e. 11%
Now as you had 150 previously and now 25 joined, it makes 150 + 25 = 175.
Now if you calculate 11.42% of 175 i.e. 175 x 0.1142 = 20.
Which clearly shows that 175 - 20 = 155, which is your current headcount and at the same time you can say my attrition rate is 11.42% that shows you lost 20 employees out of 150, and 25 more joined which makes the count 175.
Hope this formula gives you a clear idea.

Dear Pankaj,
While calculating attrition, the first thing that strikes our mind is "kitney gaye?" However, more often than not, it is a common mistake to take all separations into account to arrive at a rate of attrition. Please take care not to include the following cases while determining "kitney gaye" for the purpose of attrition:
1. Those who are asked to leave
2. Those who have retired
3. Those who have died
Merely calculating the attrition rate is a job half done. Find out the trend in other companies in the same industry and then compare your own to see whether you need to 'relax' or 'panic' at the rate of attrition that you have in your company.
Good luck.
