Chair utilization calculator
See how much of your open chair time is booked, and what an open chair-hour is worth at your own production per hour.
Your numbers
Count the chairs you could book. Include a chair with no staff only if you want its time counted as open.
From the first bookable slot to the end of the last, minus lunch. If chairs keep different hours, use the average.
Count a half day as 0.5.
Add up the length of every appointment booked across all chairs for one week.
Booked hours minus no-shows and late cancellations you couldn't refill, for the same week.
Gross production from all chairs for the same week as the hours above.
Used only to turn weekly figures into yearly and monthly ones.
Your estimate
Fill in all fields to see your estimate.
You will see:
- How many of your open chair-hours are booked
- Your production per chair-hour
- What your open hours would be worth a year and a month
Assumptions
- The week you enter is typical. Busy and slow weeks will give different results.
- An open hour, once filled, would produce the same as your average hour. Real hours differ: a hygiene hour and a crown hour are not worth the same.
- Filling open hours needs patients who want those times and staff to see them. The calculator does not check either.
- The value is production, not collections or profit. Costs are not taken off.
- Every chair is treated the same. If some chairs are hygiene-only, the result mixes them together.
- Nothing is pre-filled because we found no reliable published figure for these numbers. The example numbers are illustrative, not benchmarks.
