Team Capacity Calculator

Work out how many hours your team can actually deliver in a period — after public holidays and planned leave. Capacity is working days minus holidays minus leave, across the team.

Net working days

154

across the team

Available capacity

1,232 hrs

net days × hours/day

Formula

Capacity (hrs) = Team size × (Working days − Holidays) × Hours/day − (Leave days × Hours/day)

This is exactly how Timvora computes capacity natively — working days − leave − holidays.

How to calculate team capacity

  1. 1Net the working days. Subtract public holidays from the working days in the period, per person.
  2. 2Scale to the team. Multiply by the number of people to get gross team working days.
  3. 3Remove planned leave. Subtract the total leave days booked across the team.
  4. 4Convert to hours. Multiply the net team days by hours per working day for available capacity.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate team capacity?

Capacity = team size × (working days − public holidays) × hours per day, minus the leave hours booked across the team. It tells you the realistic deliverable hours for the period.

Why subtract leave and holidays?

Because raw headcount overstates what a team can deliver. Real capacity is only the working time left after holidays and approved leave — which is why Timvora reconciles all three automatically.

What hours per day should I use?

Use your standard working day (often 7.5–8 hours). For billable capacity, use the hours intended for client work rather than total paid hours.
