How to Read Your Results
Absence rate shows the percentage of scheduled hours recorded as absent.
Available working hours are the scheduled hours remaining after absence is deducted.
Attendance rate is the available share of scheduled time.
Utilisation rate shows how much available time was recorded as productive or utilised.
Unutilised available hours show remaining capacity not recorded as utilised.
Compare results only when schedules, periods, and definitions are consistent.
Assumptions & Important Notes
- Each example uses scheduled, absence, and utilised hours from the same period.
- Utilised hours are treated as a user-defined productive or chargeable measure.
- Absence classifications may differ between organisations.
- Results are illustrative operational calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use weekly or annual hours in the calculator?
Yes. Use any period, provided every input covers the exact same period.
Should utilisation use scheduled hours or available hours?
This calculator uses available hours so that recorded absence is removed before productive use is measured.
Does zero absence mean 100% utilisation?
No. Zero absence means all scheduled hours are available; utilisation still depends on the utilised hours recorded.
How should I handle overtime?
Apply one consistent reporting method and note that overtime can make utilisation exceed 100% when it is included in utilised hours.
