Onboarding Drop-off Rate

The percentage of users who abandon the onboarding flow at each individual step.

Formula

Users who exit at step N / Users who reached step N x 100

How to measure

Track step-by-step funnel completion during onboarding and calculate the drop-off percentage between each consecutive pair of steps.

Why track it

Step-level drop-off data shows exactly where to focus redesign effort instead of guessing which part of onboarding is the problem.

Example

A team finds a 45% drop-off specifically at the 'connect your data' step, prompting a simplification of that integration flow.
