Technician Staffing Planner

Plan technician staffing based on current workload, expected additional jobs, technician capacity, and estimated cost per technician.

Current Business

Count only field technicians who regularly perform revenue-producing work. Do not include office staff.
Total completed jobs by your current technician team during an average week.
Additional weekly jobs you expect from growth, seasonality, a new contract, or expanded service demand. Use 0 if you are only trying to reduce current overload.
Average amount you invoice for one completed service call or field job.
Average non-payroll cost to complete one job, such as materials, permits, parts, subcontractors, and other direct job costs. Do not include technician wages here because payroll is calculated separately.
Average revenue-producing technician hours needed to complete one job. Example: 2.5 hours for a service call, or 6 hours for a longer field job.
Average total weekly hours for each current technician. Example: 40 means normally staffed, 45 means busy, and 50+ usually indicates overtime pressure.

Cost Per Technician

Use average cost for each additional technician you may hire. The planner will multiply these costs by the recommended number of technicians.
Hourly pay per additional technician before taxes, benefits, or other employer costs.
Expected paid hours per week per additional technician. Full-time is usually 40 hours.
Additional employer costs beyond hourly wages, such as payroll taxes, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, and employer-paid benefits. Typical range: 15% - 30%.
Monthly loan or lease payment per additional service vehicle.
Monthly insurance cost per additional truck or service vehicle.
Estimated monthly fuel cost per additional technician.
Monthly mobile phone, tablet, GPS, or communication cost per additional technician.
Average monthly cost per additional technician for tools, uniforms, safety equipment, and replacements.
Health insurance, retirement contributions, paid time off, bonuses, or other employee benefits per additional technician.
Licensing, certifications, software, onboarding, training, or other recurring monthly cost per additional technician.
Estimated percentage of each additional technician's paid time spent on revenue-producing work. Example: 85% is strong, 70% is moderate, and 50% may mean you are hiring ahead of demand.
