Estimate usable weekly team capacity. Results are estimates and are calculated locally on your device.
Use this result as a planning estimate, not financial, tax, legal, or professional advice.
How to use this tool
Plan capacity without assuming every hour is productive
Estimate usable team hours after accounting for headcount, work schedules, and non-project time.
Worked example
Five people with 40-hour weeks at 75% usable capacity provide about 150 usable hours per week.
What to do with the number
Compare demand with realistic usable capacity before promising deadlines, adding work, or changing staffing.
Common questions
Team Capacity Planner FAQ
What is team capacity?
It is the amount of realistically usable work time available across a team during a defined period.
Why should capacity be below 100%?
Meetings, administration, interruptions, support work, leave, and normal variability consume part of scheduled time.
Can I use this for sprint planning?
Yes, as a planning baseline, provided you use capacity assumptions that reflect how your team actually works.
