A low utilization rate could indicate inefficiencies, excessive time spent on non-billable activities, or underutilization of staff. Use this data to adjust your workflows and improve productivity in the long run. If utilization is consistently high (90% or higher), you may need to hire additional staff to meet client demand without overburdening current employees.

Formula:

Utilization Rate = (Billable Hours / Total Available Hours) * 100

For full-time employees, the total available hours are 40 hours per week. Freelancers and part-time workers have different availability periods.

5.3. Project Profitability
Project profitability measures the financial success of individual projects. It compares the income generated to the associated costs and expenses, so you can identify areas for cost optimization and make informed decisions regarding pricing, resource allocation, and prioritization.

If projects consistently run over budget, you can work with clients to adjust the scope or pricing. You can also take internal corrective actions to mitigate inefficiencies and maintain profitability.

For small, one-off projects with limited scope and budget, tracking profitability may not always be necessary. If the focus is more on client acquisition or portfolio building, satisfaction and retention may be more relevant than profitability.

Formula:

Project Profitability = (Project Revenue - Project Costs) / Project Costs

Project costs include all expenses related to delivering the project, such as lebanon phone number data tools, software, employee salaries, contractor fees, and other overhead costs.
