Questions
How Do I Calculate Utilization?
Divide billable hours by hours worked. 28 billable hours in a 40-hour week is 70% utilization.
What's a Good Utilization Rate?
Many freelancers and agencies aim for 60% to 80% of working hours. Admin, sales and learning take the rest; 100% is rarely sustainable.
Should I Use Hours Worked or Hours Available?
Either, as long as you're consistent. Hours worked shows how much of your work was billable; hours available (say 40 per week) also counts slow weeks.
