You calculate the number of hours a person or group of people work on their activities and then divide that number by the total possible work hours for 1 individual. The total possible work hours equals either 1. 40 hr/wk * 52 wks = 2080 hours or 2. 40 hr/wk * 4 wks * 12 months = 1920. Either equation is acceptable.

FTE or full time equivalency is based on a 40 hour work week in the United States. It is determined by adding all of the hours employees work in a week dividing by the number of employees and then dividing again by 40.

FTEs (repeating decimals)Approximately 4.6 FTEs needed(24 x 365)= 8760(8760 + 832)= 9592 hr/yr(40 / 7)=5.714285714... hr/day(5.714285714 x 365)= 2085.714285714... hr/yr one FTE works(9592 / 2085.714285714)= 4.59890410958904...
