Check whether available desks can support the expected peak attendance in a hybrid office. Convert workforce size and peak attendance into required seats, include a practical buffer, and see the seat surplus or shortage before changing schedules or floor plans.
A surplus means the office can accommodate modeled peak demand plus buffer. A shortage signals the number of seats or equivalent scheduling reduction needed.
Peak attendance is a scenario assumption. Validate it with access or booking data and test unusually busy days separately.
A 600-person workforce with 45% peak attendance and a 12% buffer requires 303 seats after rounding up. With 250 desks, the office has a shortage of 53 seats.
Seats are whole units, so any fractional requirement is rounded up.
It is added to expected peak attendees, preventing the buffer from inflating employees who are not expected on-site.
The calculator reports a shortage equal to required seats and avoids displaying an infinite utilization percentage.
Yes. Use 100% for a scenario in which the entire hybrid workforce may attend simultaneously.
No. This model covers workpoints only; meeting rooms, parking, and specialized spaces need separate capacity checks.
