FTE needed = workload / available hours per person
Load = workload / (available hours x headcount)

Illustrative arithmetic on the figures you enter. Check the result against your firm's methodology before relying on it.

The formulas

  • FTE needed = workload / available hours per person
  • Load = workload / (available hours x headcount)

How it works

Use available chargeable hours, not paid hours. A load above 100 percent means the workload exceeds the capacity you have entered.
