How to calculate billable utilization
Billable utilization measures what percentage of available working hours are actually billed to clients — a key metric for service businesses evaluating staff productivity and revenue efficiency.
How the calculation works
Billable utilization = (Billable hours ÷ Available hours) × 100.
Example
140 billable hours out of 160 available hours in a month: Utilization = (140 ÷ 160) × 100 = 87.5%.

Pro Tips for Billable Utilization
- Available hours should reflect actual working capacity (excluding holidays, PTO) rather than a flat 40-hour-per-week assumption, for a more accurate utilization figure.
- Target utilization rates vary significantly by role and industry — compare against your specific firm's or industry's typical benchmark rather than assuming 100% is the goal.
Common Billable Utilization Mistakes to Avoid
- Using a flat calendar-based available-hours figure without excluding holidays and PTO, which understates true utilization for staff who took time off during the period.
