Table for Estimating Time Allocations (FTE)
General guidance: divide the number of hours worked per week by 40 hours to compute FTE.
Examples:
| Days worked per week | Hours worked per week | FTE |
|---|---|---|
| 5 days per week | 40 hours per week | 1 FTE |
| 4 days per week | 32 hours per week | .8 FTE |
| 3 days per week | 24 hours per week | .6 FTE |
| 2.5 days per week | 20 hours per week | .5 FTE |
| 1 day per week | 8 hours per week | .2 FTE |
| .5 (one half) day per week | 4 hours per week | .1 FTE |
| .25 day per week | 2 hours per week | .05 FTE |
Alternative: divide the number of hours worked in the year by 2080 to compute FTE.
| Hours worked per week x number of weeks | Hours per year | FTE |
|---|---|---|
| 40 hours per week x 52 weeks | 2080 hours per year | 1 FTE |
| 20 hours per week x 52 weeks | 1040 hours per year | .5 FTE |
| 10 hours per week x 12 weeks (summer) | 120 hours per year | .06 FTE |
| 40 hours per week x 32 weeks | 1,200 hours per year | .62 FTE |
| 40 hours per week x 1 week (one-week project) | 40 hours per year | .02 FTE |
