Workload Calculator
Find out how many weeks a team needs to finish a body of work, based on team size and real weekly capacity.
How the calculation works
Multiplies team size by each person's realistic weekly capacity, hours actually available for focused work, not a full 40-hour week, to get the team's combined weekly output. Dividing the total work required by that combined capacity gives the number of weeks needed, rounded up since a partial week still requires a full week on the calendar.
Formula
Combined Weekly Capacity = Team Size × Real Hours Per Person Per Week. Weeks Needed = Total Work Required ÷ Combined Weekly Capacity, rounded up to a whole week.
Examples
200 hours of work, team of 4, 32 real hours/week each
1.56 weeks needed (rounds up to 2 weeks), 128 combined hours/week
500 hours of work, team of 5, 30 real hours/week each
3.33 weeks needed (rounds up to 4 weeks), 150 combined hours/week
