    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The calculation method for attrition rate typically involves taking the number of employees who have left during a specific period divided by the average number of employees during that same period, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

  • Dear Pankaj,

    Hope this formula gives you a clear idea.
    (The formula and correct logic behind 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 so 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 is 11.42% that shows you lost 20 employees of 150 and 25 more joined which makes count to 175.

  • 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 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.
