Staff Turnover & Headcount Tracker

There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 79 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.

It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No email wall, no signup, no watermark, and you can use it commercially.

Staff turnover is expensive, and you can only manage it if you measure it. This Excel staff turnover and headcount tracker records joiners and leavers each month, carries headcount forward and works out turnover against average headcount.

The year summary shows headcount at the start and now, joiners and leavers, annual and voluntary turnover rates, net headcount change and the estimated replacement cost of everyone who left.

Headcount carries forward: enter the opening figure once, then joiners and leavers. Turnover is measured against average headcount, which is the figure that stands up to scrutiny.

The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.

Shaded, boxed cells below the table are settings the formulas read from. Change those first — every row that depends on them updates at once.
