Attendance rate calculator
Attendance rate is days present divided by working days. The argument is never the division. It is what counts as a working day, and almost every dispute about an attendance figure turns out to be that.

How to use it
Step 1
Count the working days in the period first. Remove weekends and public holidays before you start.
Step 2
Decide whether approved leave counts as absent. Most employers exclude it from both sides; the tool will follow whichever you enter.
Step 3
Enter days present and the working-day figure you settled on.
Step 4
A figure above 100% is refused. That result means the period is wrong, not that someone overachieved.
Step 5
Set your absence rule before you compare people. Approved leave, sick days and unexplained absence each count as one day away here, so decide which of them belong in the figure.
Step 6
Read it next to the on-time rate. Someone who is present every day but late every day still scores 100% on attendance.
Questions people ask
Does approved leave count as an absence?
Usually not. Most employers remove leave days from the working-day count on both sides, so the rate measures unplanned absence. Whichever rule you pick, apply it to everyone.
What is a good attendance rate?
There is no universal number, and any tool quoting one is guessing at your industry. A manufacturing line and a design studio judge the same figure differently.
Why does the tool reject a rate above 100%?
Because being present on more days than the period contains is impossible. The working-day count is too low, usually because a weekend or a holiday was left in.
