How to use

  1. Enter Total work hours.
  2. Enter Billable utilization %.
  3. Enter Hourly rate.
  4. Calculate, then review the period, scope and assumptions before using the result for pricing or planning.

How it is calculated

Billable hours = total hours × utilization; revenue = billable hours × hourly rate

Example

160 work hours at 70% billable utilization give 112 billable hours; at 100 per hour the theoretical capacity revenue is 11,200.

Important notes

This is theoretical capacity, not guaranteed sales; enough demand, real clients and scheduling are required to fill the billable hours.

Frequently asked questions

Should this be used as a sales forecast?

Not directly. It is a capacity-based ceiling; a sales forecast also needs pipeline and conversion assumptions.

Is the result a mandatory client price?

No. It is a planning result from your inputs; final pricing depends on scope, market, contract, taxes and risk.

Should I use monthly or annual figures?

Keep all inputs on the same period so annual income is not mixed with monthly hours or expenses.
