Appointment Utilization Calculator
Estimate how many appointments your team could handle vs how many you book.
The math
How we got your number
- Available capacity5 × 26 × 10 × 60 ÷ 60 min= 1,300
- Appointment utilization850 ÷ 1,300= 65.4%
- Unused capacity1,300 − 850= 450
What this number means
Appointment utilization compares appointments served to the maximum your team could serve in the same hours.
Low utilization means paid hours go unbooked; very high can mean you're turning clients away.
How to improve it
- 01Open online booking so clients fill gaps.
- 02Balance the schedule across the whole team.
