Drop Out Ratio Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Drop Out Ratio (D) is:

$D = \left( \frac{S}{T} \right) \times 100$

Where:

$D$ is the drop out ratio (%)
$S$ is the number of students who dropped out
$T$ is the total number of students enrolled

What is a Drop Out Ratio?

The drop out ratio is a metric used to measure the percentage of students who discontinue their education before completing their course of study. It is an important indicator for educational institutions to understand the retention rate and identify potential issues that may be causing students to leave. A high drop out ratio can indicate problems such as lack of student engagement, financial difficulties, or inadequate academic support. Conversely, a low drop out ratio suggests that the institution is successful in retaining its students and providing a supportive learning environment.

Example

Let's say the number of students who dropped out (S) is 20, and the total number of students enrolled (T) is 200. Using the formula:

$D = \left( \frac{20}{200} \right) \times 100 = 10 \%$

So, the drop out ratio (D) is 10%.

Drop Out Rate Formula

Formula: $\text{Drop Out Rate} = \frac{\text{Number of Dropouts}}{\text{Total Number of Students}} \times 100$

Drop Out Rate: Percentage of students who drop out
Number of Dropouts: Total number of students who dropped out
Total Number of Students: Total number of students enrolled

Example: $\text{Drop Out Rate} = \frac{50}{500} \times 100$

Number of Dropouts: 50
Total Number of Students: 500

Dropout Ratio in Sample Size Calculation

Formula: $\text{Dropout Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of Dropouts}}{\text{Sample Size}}$

Dropout Ratio: Ratio of dropouts in the sample
Number of Dropouts: Total number of dropouts in the sample
Sample Size: Total number of participants in the sample

Example: $\text{Dropout Ratio} = \frac{10}{100}$

Number of Dropouts: 10
Sample Size: 100

Drop Off Conversion Rate Calculation

Formula: $\text{Drop Off Conversion Rate} = \frac{\text{Number of Drop Offs}}{\text{Total Number of Visitors}} \times 100$

Drop Off Conversion Rate: Percentage of visitors who drop off
Number of Drop Offs: Total number of visitors who dropped off
Total Number of Visitors: Total number of visitors

Example: $\text{Drop Off Conversion Rate} = \frac{30}{300} \times 100$

Number of Drop Offs: 30
Total Number of Visitors: 300
