This calculator helps you quantify your daily output based on the number of tasks you complete and the time you spend working. It provides a clear metric to understand your efficiency and identify areas for improvement.
How it Works:
The calculation is straightforward, focusing on two key metrics derived from your inputs:
Total Tasks Completed: This is calculated by multiplying your "Tasks Completed Per Hour" by your "Hours Worked Today".
Total Time Spent on Tasks: This is found by multiplying the "Total Tasks Completed" by your "Average Time Per Task" (converted to hours).
The primary result displayed is your Total Tasks Completed Today. We also show the Total Estimated Time Spent on Tasks (in hours) for context.
Formulas Used:
Total Tasks Completed = Tasks Completed Per Hour × Hours Worked Today
Total Time Spent on Tasks (Minutes) = Total Tasks Completed × Average Time Per Task
Total Time Spent on Tasks (Hours) = Total Time Spent on Tasks (Minutes) / 60
Use Cases:
Performance Tracking: Monitor your output over time to see trends and improvements.
Goal Setting: Set realistic daily or weekly task completion goals.
Resource Management: Understand how much time is allocated to task completion versus other work activities.
Process Improvement: By tracking average task time, you can identify bottlenecks and opportunities to streamline your workflow.
Example:
Let's say you are aiming to calculate your productivity for a day:
You typically complete 12 tasks per hour.
You worked for 7.5 hours today.
Your average time to complete a single task is 5 minutes.
Total Time Spent on Tasks = 90 tasks × 5 minutes/task = 450 minutes
Total Time Spent on Tasks = 450 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 7.5 hours
In this scenario, the calculator would show 90 tasks as your primary productivity metric, with an additional note about the total time spent on those tasks.
function calculateProductivity() {
var tasksPerHour = parseFloat(document.getElementById("tasksCompleted").value);
var hoursWorked = parseFloat(document.getElementById("hoursWorked").value);
var avgTaskTimeMinutes = parseFloat(document.getElementById("averageTaskTime").value);
var resultDiv = document.getElementById("calculationResult");
// Clear previous results and styles
resultDiv.innerHTML = "–";
resultDiv.style.color = "var(–success-green)"; // Default to success green
// Input validation
if (isNaN(tasksPerHour) || tasksPerHour < 0 ||
isNaN(hoursWorked) || hoursWorked < 0 ||
isNaN(avgTaskTimeMinutes) || avgTaskTimeMinutes < 0) {
resultDiv.innerHTML = "Invalid Input";
resultDiv.style.color = "#dc3545"; // Red for error
return;
}
// Calculations
var totalTasks = tasksPerHour * hoursWorked;
var totalTimeMinutes = totalTasks * avgTaskTimeMinutes;
var totalTimeHours = totalTimeMinutes / 60;
// Displaying the primary result (Total Tasks Completed)
resultDiv.innerHTML = Math.round(totalTasks) + " Tasks";
// Optionally, you could add the secondary metric to the display or a separate element
// For this calculator, we'll stick to the primary metric as requested.
// If you wanted to display both, you would need to modify the HTML structure
// and the resultDiv to accommodate multiple pieces of information.
// Example: resultDiv.innerHTML = Math.round(totalTasks) + " Tasks (" + totalTimeHours.toFixed(2) + " hrs spent)";
// Ensure the result color remains green if valid
resultDiv.style.color = "var(–success-green)";
