Our absence percentage calculator calculates sick leave, personal time off, unauthorized absences, and other forms of scheduled and unscheduled time away from work.
The primary purpose of tracking absence percentages is to:
- Monitor workforce productivity
- Identify attendance patterns
- Plan resource allocation
- Address potential workplace issues
- Implement targeted interventions
If an employee is scheduled to work 20 days in a month but is absent for 4 days, the absence percentage would be:
Absence Percentage = (Days Absent / Total Scheduled Days) × 100
Absence Percentage = (4 / 20) × 100 = 20%Absence Percentage Calculator

Monthly Absenteeism Rate Formula
The formula for calculating the monthly absenteeism rate is:
Monthly Absenteeism Rate = (Total Hours of Absence / (Total Employees × Total Working Hours)) × 100The monthly absenteeism rate provides a standardized way to measure absence patterns over a specific month. This metric is crucial for human resource management and organizational planning. The formula takes into account both individual and collective absences across the workforce.
A company with 50 employees working 8 hours per day for 22 working days in a month:
- Total Working Hours per employee = 22 days × 8 hours = 176 hours
- Total Possible Working Hours = 50 employees × 176 hours = 8,800 hours
- If total absence hours recorded = 440 hours
Monthly Absenteeism Rate = (440 / 8,800) × 100 = 5%How to Calculate Absenteeism Percentage?
Step-by-Step Calculation Process:
- Determine the measurement period
- Calculate total scheduled work hours
- Record all absence hours
- Apply the formula: Absenteeism Percentage = (Total Absence Hours / Total Scheduled Hours) × 100
For a single employee over a quarter:
- Scheduled work days = 65
- Daily work hours = 8
- Total scheduled hours = 520
- Recorded absence hours = 24
Absenteeism Percentage = (24 / 520) × 100 = 4.62%What is Absence Percentage?
Absence Percentage represents the proportion of time an employee or workforce is absent relative to the expected attendance time.
This metric helps organizations:
- Evaluate workforce availability
- Monitor attendance trends
- Assess operational efficiency
- Implement attendance improvement strategies
- Compare departmental performance
The metric serves as a key performance indicator (KPI) for workforce management and helps identify potential areas requiring intervention or policy adjustments.
