Labor Productivity Calculator

Measure revenue and output generated per labor hour, then estimate the value of improving productive time and output efficiency.

Simple methodRevenue productivity = revenue ÷ labor hours. Output productivity = completed units ÷ labor hours. Labor cost metrics use the entered total labor cost for the same period.

Caps the amount of extra output that can be monetized.

Advanced methodPaid hours include regular and overtime hours. Productive hours apply the productive-time rate to total paid hours. Good output applies the quality acceptance rate to gross completed units. Target output combines the target productive-time rate with the entered improvement in good units per productive hour.

Scope

Productivity is not the same as labor intensity or profitability

This calculator measures output and revenue relative to labor time. Results depend heavily on what is counted as a labor hour, whether revenue is truly attributable to the measured workforce, and whether output units are comparable. Productive-time improvements can reflect process changes, automation, scheduling, training, mix shifts or measurement changes. Potential extra revenue is capped by entered extra demand and assumes the current average revenue per good unit can be maintained.
