Formula and worked example

| Available paid hours | 160 |
| Calculated result | 68.75 % |
Choose reliable inputs
Connect teaching time, preparation, attendance and room capacity to each lesson or class. For this yoga studio calculation, use attendance records, teaching schedules and room costs and a consistent definition of one class place.
- Instructor cost: include the portion belonging to this class place or reporting period, and record where the value came from.
- Room cost: include the portion belonging to this class place or reporting period, and record where the value came from.
- Attendance: include the portion belonging to this class place or reporting period, and record where the value came from.
Use the same currency for every money input. Do not mix weekly costs with monthly revenue, or count the same expense in both an itemised cost and allocated overhead.
Does full utilization leave time for admin?
A target must allow necessary nonbillable work. Counting every paid hour as saleable often overstates capacity.
Use consistent periods and decide whether leave is excluded from available hours.
What if this input changes?
If billable hours rises by 10%, this example changes by 6.875 %. This shows the effect of one change; it does not predict what will happen.
Open the calculator, save your baseline, then change the input supported by the least reliable estimate in your records. Compare both scenarios before committing to a price or capacity promise.
