Staffing formula

The calculator converts demand into labour hours, then divides those hours by the regular working time available per person.

People needed = demand ÷ rate per person ÷ regular hours

Before scheduling overtime

  1. Confirm the per-person rate reflects the actual work.
  2. Check whether waiting, approvals or information—not staffing—is the real constraint.
  3. Compare overtime cost with moving work, changing sequence or adding trained support.
  4. Allow time for meetings, breaks and administration when those are not already in the completion rate.
