How to Read Your Results
Absence rate shows the proportion of scheduled team workdays that were missed in the selected period.
Productive hours lost translates absence days into scheduled hours using the daily-hours input.
Available productive hours are scheduled hours left after recorded absences, not a guarantee of completed output.
Capacity available is the percentage of scheduled time remaining after absences.
Estimated value lost is sensitive to the hourly value entered and should be treated as an operational estimate.
Assumptions & Important Notes
- All employees are represented by the same average number of scheduled days and hours.
- Absence days and scheduled working days refer to the same reporting period.
- The examples exclude overtime, agency cover, and recovered work.
- The hourly values are illustrative planning inputs, not financial statements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this calculator be used for weekly and monthly absence reporting?
Yes. Use consistent team size, scheduled days, and absence days for the same weekly, monthly, or other reporting period.
Why does a large team have a lower absence rate but more hours lost?
The rate is relative to all scheduled team days. A large team can lose more total hours while those hours remain a smaller percentage of its larger schedule.
Can I use different daily hours for shift teams?
The calculator uses one average daily-hours figure. Separate calculations may be clearer when schedules differ substantially.
Does remaining capacity mean the team can complete all planned work?
No. It measures remaining scheduled time only. Skills, workload timing, priorities, and cover arrangements can affect actual output.
