Frequently asked questions

What does the calculation include?

The tool subtracts breaks and other unavailable time once from working hours, then divides the remaining minutes by appointment length plus admin time per appointment. It rounds down to full slots and shows unused minutes. For example, 7 hours − 60 minutes = 360 minutes; at 30 minutes per appointment plus 5 minutes admin, that fits 10 full slots with 10 minutes left. Time fields use whole minutes; working hours may be decimal. This is a planning estimate, not a check of real availability or practice requirements.

Which values should I enter?

Estimate how many appointment slots fit into available working time. Use consistent amounts, units, and time periods.

Is the result definitive?

No. Check the assumptions and rules that apply to your situation; this is an illustrative calculation, not professional advice.
