So what is attrition? Attrition is the departure of employees from the company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, due to any reason like resignation, termination, retirement, or unfortunate circumstances like death. It's a metric used commonly by HR to gain more insights about the company.

Usually, attrition is calculated over a one-year period. However, our calculator is flexible — it allows you to calculate attrition for any time period you prefer. Whether it's a quarter, a month, or even a day, simply input the data from your desired period, and Omni will handle the rest. The annual attrition rate is given in percentage, and it will tell you how well the company is doing in terms of keeping employees and replacing those who left. It will also show you if your company is growing or decreasing in staff size.

First, you need to know the timeframe you want to calculate, and then adjust your employment numbers accordingly. For example, if you want to calculate the annual attrition rate for any given year, you need to enter the following in the attrition rate calculator:

• Number of employees at the beginning of the year;
• Number of employees at the end of the year; and
• Number of employees that left during that period.

The calculation formula used in this HR calculator is quite simple. You add the number of employees at the beginning of the period to the number at the end, and divide it by 2 to get the arithmetic mean. Then we divide the number of employees that left by the arithmetic mean, and multiply the result by 100 to see the outcome in percentage.
