Dear Bhagirathi
Given below is the attrition rate:
ATTRITION RATE- calculation
(no. Of attritions x 100) / (Actual Employees + New Joined)) /100.
Examples:
1) Actual Employees No. Of people left No. Of Joined Total Employees
(Opening BAL) (Attritions) (Current Headcount)
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.
Thanks & Regards

Hi! Your formula seems to be good in the sense that mathematically it reduces the attrition rate vis-a vis the first formula, well now the question is which is correct.
