Employee turnover rate calculator

Calculate your employee turnover rate using a recognized methodology. This calculator uses the average workforce over the selected period rather than your December 31 headcount, which gives a more accurate and meaningful result. It also separates voluntary resignations from terminations, for a clearer read on your employee turnover. Free to use, no sign-up required and based on the method Quebec employers actually use.

Headcount at start of period

Headcount at end of period

Voluntary departures (resignations)

Involuntary departures (dismissals, contract ends)

Parental leave, disability leave and internal transfers are not departures. Under 50 employees, work over 24 months. On a small team one departure moves the number too far.

How this is calculated

In Quebec the average rate sits around 24% across all sectors. Look at your voluntary rate first. That is the one that tells you about the health of your company. The other one tells you about your own decisions.
