Frequently Asked Questions
FTE stands for Full-Time Equivalent, a unit that indicates the workload of an employed person in a way that makes workloads comparable across different work schedules.
FTE is calculated by dividing the total number of hours worked by the number of hours considered full-time. For example, 120 hours worked / 40 hours full-time = 3.0 FTE.
It varies by organization, but 40 hours per week is common in the US. You can adjust it in the calculator.
