Enter the Total Time spent on tasks and the Number of Tasks completed into the calculator to determine the Time Per Task. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.

Time Per Task Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Time Per Task.

TPT = TT / NT

Variables:

  • TPT is the Time Per Task (hours)
  • TT is the Total Time spent on tasks (hours)
  • NT is the Number of Tasks completed

To calculate the Time Per Task, divide the Total Time spent on tasks by the Number of Tasks completed. This will give you the average amount of time it takes to complete a single task. The lower the Time Per Task, the more efficient the process is considered to be.

What is Time Per Task?

Time Per Task is a metric used to measure the amount of time it takes to complete a specific task. This can be used in various fields such as project management, employee performance evaluation, and productivity analysis. It helps in identifying inefficiencies, planning and allocating resources, and improving overall productivity. The shorter the time per task, the more efficient the process is considered to be.

How to Calculate Time Per Task?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Time Per Task (TPT).


  1. First, determine the total time spent on tasks (TT) in hours.
  2. Next, determine the number of tasks completed (NT).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = TPT = TT / NT.
  4. Finally, calculate the Time Per Task (TPT).
  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.

Total time spent on tasks (TT) = 20 hours

Number of tasks completed (NT) = 5
