Revenue per Employee

Revenue per Employee: Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) divided by total headcount.

Formula

Revenue per Employee = ARR / Total employees

Computable definition

The canonical formula in the GASP formula grammar. The MCP server compiles it to SQL over the datasets listed below.

metric.arr / metric.total_headcount

Unit: currency

Data requirements

Grain: End-of-month snapshot · Frequency: Monthly · Aggregation: snapshot (month) · Staged: no · Main source: HRIS.

Field	Dataset	Type
`employee_id`	employee	string
`employee_status`	employee	string
`mrr`	subscription	decimal
`snapshot_date`	employee	date
`snapshot_date`	subscription	date
`subscription_status`	subscription	string

Example SQL (Postgres)

SELECT (CAST(((((SELECT COALESCE(SUM(mrr), 0) FROM subscription WHERE snapshot_date = :period_end AND subscription_status = 'active')) * 12)) AS DOUBLE PRECISION) / NULLIF(((SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT employee_id) FROM employee WHERE snapshot_date = :period_end AND employee_status = 'active')), 0)) AS revenue_per_employee

Access: recommended sensitivity tier restricted, access scope unscoped. Guidance your policy engine enforces.

From an agent: with the GASP MCP server, call lookup_metric({ "name": "Revenue per Employee" }) or generate_query({ "metric": "Revenue per Employee", "adapter": "<your adapter JSON>" }).
