Formula
- Use the units shown beside each field.
- Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
- Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
- Period-specific staffing measure, not headcount. No legal benefit-eligibility definition is assumed.
Example Calculation
- Total paid hours in period: 800 h
- Full-time hours for same period: 160 h
Total paid hours in period = 800 h; Full-time hours for same period = 160 h. The primary result is 5.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use this calculator?
Enter total paid hours in period, full-time hours for same period. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.
What method does it use?
FTE=total hours/full-time period hours.. Period-specific staffing measure, not headcount. No legal benefit-eligibility definition is assumed.
Why might a rounded result differ?
The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.
