Enter the actual output and the potential output into the calculator to determine the productivity percentage. This calculator helps to evaluate the efficiency of a production process or an employee’s performance.
Productivity Percentage Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the productivity percentage.
PP = (AO / PO) * 100
Variables:
- PP is the productivity percentage (%)
- AO is the actual output
- PO is the potential output
To calculate the productivity percentage, divide the actual output by the potential output and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
What is Productivity Percentage?
Productivity percentage is a measure of efficiency that compares the actual output of a process or an individual to the potential output under ideal conditions. It is often used to assess the performance of workers, machines, and production processes. A higher productivity percentage indicates higher efficiency and better performance.
How to Calculate Productivity Percentage?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Productivity Percentage.
- First, determine the actual output (AO).
- Next, determine the potential output (PO).
- Use the formula from above = PP = (AO / PO) * 100.
- Finally, calculate the Productivity Percentage (PP).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
actual output (AO) = 80 units
potential output (PO) = 100 units
