Capacity and FTE calculator

How many people does the plan need?

Interval staffing answers today. This answers the quarter: how much workload the forecast carries, the FTE it implies once shrinkage and occupancy are honest, and how far that is from the team you have.

The formula

How this is calculated.

  1. 1Workload hours = volume × AHT ÷ 3600
  2. 2Productive hours = workload ÷ target occupancy
  3. 3FTE = productive hours ÷ (contracted hours × weeks)
  4. 4Rostered FTE = FTE ÷ (1 − shrinkage)

Before you trust it

What this model assumes.

  • This spreads the period's volume evenly. It sizes the team, not the roster — peaks within the period still need interval-level staffing.
