Scheduled minutes must be greater than 0, and billable minutes cannot exceed scheduled minutes.

How To Use the Therapy Utilization Calculator?

  1. Enter your scheduled minutes for the day or week.
  2. Enter your billable minutes for the same time period.
  3. Add a target utilization percentage (optional).
  4. Enter your non-billable minutes if you want them tracked separately (optional).
  5. Click Calculate.
  6. View your utilization percentage instantly.
  7. See the gap between your current and target utilization.
  8. Review the breakdown of billable and non-billable time.

Examples

  • Scheduled 480 minutes, billable 360 minutes → 75% utilization
  • Scheduled 420 minutes, billable 315 minutes → 75% utilization
  • Scheduled 480 minutes, billable 330 minutes, target 75% → 360 required minutes, a 30-minute gap.

Formula Breakdown

Utilization % = billable minutes ÷ scheduled minutes × 100. If a target is set, the required billable minutes = scheduled minutes × target %, and the gap is simply that required figure minus your actual billable minutes.

Conclusion

Utilization tells you how your scheduled time is actually being spent — a different question from whether your output is on pace, but an equally important one. This Therapy Utilization Calculator pairs naturally with the Caseload Calculator for workload planning and the Productivity Calculator for the broader picture of your day.
