Clock hours = hours at work (paid or available time). Hours on ROs = time actually clocked on repair orders. Flag hours = hours billed/sold to customers for the work done. Leave "Hours on ROs" blank if you don't track it; productivity and efficiency then can't be split.

How to use

  1. Set the flat-rate pay per flag hour, and an hourly guarantee if your pay plan has one.
  2. For each day, enter clock hours, hours spent on repair orders (from your time-clock or shop system), and flag hours produced.
  3. Read efficiency (flag ÷ RO hours), productivity (RO hours ÷ clock hours) and proficiency (flag ÷ clock hours).
  4. Compare flat-rate pay with the guarantee, and see effective pay per clock hour and, with a shop rate, labor sales and pay as a percentage of labor sales.

FAQ

What's the difference between efficiency, productivity and proficiency?

As used here: efficiency = flag hours ÷ hours actually worked on repair orders, productivity = hours on repair orders ÷ clock hours, and proficiency = flag hours ÷ clock hours (efficiency × productivity). Shops sometimes use these terms differently, so state your definitions.

How is flat-rate pay calculated?

Flag hours × the pay rate per flag hour. With an hourly guarantee, this calculator pays whichever is higher, flat-rate pay or guarantee × clock hours. Your actual pay plan may work differently.

Can efficiency be over 100%?

Yes. If a tech beats the book time, for example flagging 1.5 hours on a job done in 1 hour, efficiency is 150%.

Is this payroll or wage-law advice?

No. It's a calculator for estimates and discussion. Wage and hour rules (minimum wage, overtime and how flat-rate pay must be handled) vary by location. Check with a payroll professional or employment attorney.
