Billable share of the day 65.0%
Unbilled hours per month 739
Revenue those hours would have carried $40,656
What the unbilled hours cost in wages $25,133
65.0% of the paid day reaches an invoice. The rest is 739 hours a month, costing $25,133 in wages and carrying $40,656 of revenue that never happened.

Not all unbilled time is waste. Travel, restocking, training and warranty calls are necessary and will never be zero. The useful question is whether the share is drifting, not whether it reaches 100%.

Questions

About this calculator

What utilisation should I aim for?

Higher than last quarter. Absolute targets borrowed from other companies ignore how far apart the jobs are and how much travel the work involves.

Is chasing utilisation always good?

No. Pushed too hard it produces rushed work and callbacks, and a callback is unbillable time plus a damaged customer.

Where does the time usually go?

Driving, waiting for parts, and returning to finish jobs that were started without everything needed. The third one is usually the cheapest to fix.

The formula

utilisation = billed hours / paid hours
