Enter the number of jobs completed, the total actual hours worked, and the standard time per job into the calculator to determine the technician’s efficiency as a percentage. This calculator helps evaluate the productivity of a technician or a team by comparing earned (standard) time to actual time.

Technician Efficiency Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the technician's efficiency (earned time compared to actual time):

E = (JC * STJ / AH) * 100

Variables:

  • E is the efficiency (%)
  • JC is the number of jobs completed
  • STJ is the standard time per job (in hours per job)
  • AH is the actual hours worked

To calculate technician efficiency, multiply the jobs completed by the standard time per job to get earned (standard) hours, divide by the actual hours worked, and then multiply by 100 to express the result as a percentage.

What is Technician Efficiency?

Technician efficiency is a measure of productivity that compares how much standard (earned) work time a technician produces versus how much actual time they work. It is often expressed as a percentage and can be used to assess performance, set benchmarks, and identify areas for improvement. An efficiency above 100% means the technician is completing work faster than the standard time; below 100% means the work is taking longer than the standard time.

How to Calculate Technician Efficiency?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Technician Efficiency:

  1. Determine the number of jobs completed (JC).
  2. Determine the actual hours worked (AH).
  3. Determine the standard time per job (STJ) (the expected/allowed time for one job).
  4. Use the formula: E = (JC × STJ ÷ AH) × 100.
  5. 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.

Number of jobs completed (JC) = 15

Actual hours worked (AH) = 30 hours

Standard time per job (STJ) = 2 hours/job

Efficiency (E) = (15 × 2 ÷ 30) × 100 = 100%
