Calculate man months from man hours, average work hours per day, and working days per month, or solve any missing value in the formula.
Man Hours To Man Months Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the man months for a given set of inputs.
MM = MH / (H \cdot D)
Variables:
- MM is the man months
- MH is the man hours
- H is the average working hours per day
- D is the average working days per month
To calculate the man months, divide the man hours by the product of the average working hours per day and the average working days per month.
