Standard turnover:
The calculator divides total separations by average employee headcount, then multiplies the result by 100.

Voluntary turnover:
Voluntary separations are divided by average headcount to estimate resignation-driven turnover.

Involuntary turnover:
Involuntary separations are divided by average headcount to estimate employer-driven exits.

Turnover cost:
Estimated replacement cost is calculated using average salary, replacement cost percentage, and separations.
