Hot Desk Demand Calculator

Add a planning buffer to peak attendance when sizing shared desks.

Inputs

Range: at least 0

Enter the people included in this planning scope. Use whole people for headcount; fractional FTE may be used only if intentionally modeled. Zero is allowed.

Range: 0–1 0–1

Use organization data or a deliberate scenario. 0.70 means 70% of the covered people are present at peak. Range is 0 to 1; not an industry default.

Range: at least 0

Enter a non-negative buffer applied to peak attendees; 0.10 adds 10% of peak demand. No upper limit is prescribed; choose and document an organization-specific assumption.
