FTE calculator

How many full-time employees does your team add up to? Enter each person's weekly hours and the hours of a full-time week: the calculator gives each person's share and the team's total FTE.

The hours of a full-time week in the contract. In Italy the normal working week is 40 hours unless the CCNL sets fewer: check yours.

Separate the values with spaces, semicolons or new lines, for example 40 20 37.5.

Everything is calculated in your browser: no data is sent anywhere. Indicative result: the applicable collective agreement and your payroll consultant have the final word.

How the calculation works

  1. 1 A person's FTE = weekly hours ÷ hours of a full-time week. 20 hours on a 40-hour week is 0.5 FTE.
  2. 2 Team FTE = sum of everyone's weekly hours ÷ full-time week. Four people with 40, 20, 30 and 24 hours make 114 ÷ 40 = 2.85 FTE.
  3. 3 FTE measures workload, not headcount: two half-time employees are 1 FTE.

Frequently asked questions

What does FTE mean?

Full-time equivalent: a unit that puts part-time and full-time workloads on the same scale, where 1 FTE is one full-time job.

Which weekly hours count as full time?

The ones in the contract. The law sets a normal week of 40 hours and the CCNL may set fewer, so the full-time week is the one your CCNL gives.

How do I calculate the FTE of a part-time employee?

Divide their weekly hours by the full-time week. 24 hours on a 40-hour week is 0.6 FTE.
