Revenue per employee: Comparing Revenue with Staffing Levels
Revenue per employee provides a broad productivity comparison. Use an average employee count that reflects staffing through the revenue period.
Use the Revenue per employee Calculator to enter your own figures and compare the result with the worked example below.

These are illustrative inputs, not current prices, rates or recommended targets. Where a currency is shown, keep all comparable money amounts in the same currency; conversion examples identify the two sides separately.
How to interpret the result
Outsourcing and part-time staffing affect comparability. The figure does not measure individual employee performance or business profitability.
