Output per employee/hour. The Employee Productivity Calculator takes output in the period (units, orders or revenue), employees, hours worked per employee in the period and returns output per employee plus output per hour worked, total hours worked. Results update as you type, and the formula is shown under the result so you can repeat it in your own spreadsheet.
Payroll figures should follow the rules in your contracts and local law. Where a rule differs between states or countries, adjust the inputs; the calculator shows its assumptions so you can check them against your own policy. Use the worked example below to check the maths against your own figures.
How the Employee Productivity Calculator works
Productivity is output per unit of labour. Track it over time and by team rather than comparing across different kinds of work.
Worked example
With the example values (output in the period (units, orders or revenue) of 12000, employees of 20, hours worked per employee in the period of 160 hours), the output per employee is 600; output per hour worked 3.75, total hours worked 3,200.0 hours. Change any figure above and the result updates immediately; use Copy results to paste the summary into a note or email.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is output per employee calculated?
productivity = output ÷ employees (or ÷ total hours worked).
Which figures do I need?
Output in the period (units, orders or revenue), employees, hours worked per employee in the period. Take them from the same period and the same set of accounts or reports so the ratio is consistent, and check the example values as a guide to the units expected.
Do the rules differ by location?
Yes. Statutory rates, ceilings and eligibility conditions vary by country and often by state. Adjust the inputs to your jurisdiction and confirm with your payroll provider or labour law adviser.
