Enter hours, minutes, or both; exclude breaks consistently.

Added to hours; values over 60 are allowed.

Workers (UPPH) and target
Adds units per person-hour (UPPH) and labor hours per unit. Assumes everyone works the entered time.

Blank omits performance against target.

Units Per Hour Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the units per hour.

UPH = Total Units / Hours Worked

Variables:

  • UPH is the units per hour
  • Total Units is the total number of units produced
  • Hours Worked is the number of hours spent producing the units

To calculate the units per hour, divide the total number of units produced by the number of hours worked.

What is Units Per Hour?

Units per hour (UPH) is a measure of productivity that indicates how many units of a product are produced in one hour of work. This metric is commonly used in manufacturing and production environments to assess the efficiency of production processes and workers. It can also be used to set production goals, estimate labor costs, and optimize workflow.

How to Calculate Units Per Hour?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Units Per Hour.

  1. First, determine the total number of units produced.
  2. Next, determine the number of hours worked.
  3. Use the formula from above = UPH = Total Units / Hours Worked.
  4. Finally, calculate the Units Per Hour (UPH).
  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 Units Produced = 240 units

Hours Worked = 8 hours

Units per hour = 240 / 8 = 30 units/hour. Exclude breaks consistently. Units per labor-hour divides this rate by the number of workers, assuming equal working time for each worker.
