Enter the total number of units produced and the total time (weeks) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Units Per Week. 

Units Per Week Formula

UPW = U / T

Variables:

  • UPW is the Units Per Week (units/week)
  • U is the total number of units produced
  • T is the total time (weeks)

To calculate Units Per Week, divide the number of units produced by the time period in weeks.

How to Calculate Units Per Week?

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


  1. First, determine the total number of units produced. 
  2. Next, determine the total time (weeks). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = UPW = U / T.
  4. Finally, calculate the Units Per Week.
  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 number of units produced = 5000

total time (weeks) = 30
