0.8 FTE on a 40-hour full-time week
32 hours per week ÷ 40 full-time hours = 0.8 FTE (80% of full-time)
FTE stands for full-time equivalent. It expresses a workload as a fraction of a full-time schedule, so you can compare and add up employees who work different hours. One full-time employee is 1.0 FTE; someone working half of a full-time schedule is 0.5 FTE. Two people at 0.5 FTE add up to 1.0 FTE, the same capacity as one full-time hire.
Based on your full-time week of 40 hours.
1.0 FTE is one full-time employee. On a 40-hour week, that is 40 hours per week, about 173 hours per month, and 2,080 hours per year.
0.5 FTE is half of a full-time schedule: 20 hours per week on a 40-hour basis, or 1,040 hours per year.
0.8 FTE equals 80% of full-time: 32 hours per week on a 40-hour basis, typically a 4-day workweek, or 1,664 hours per year.
Divide the hours worked per week by the full-time hours per week. Example: 25 ÷ 40 = 0.625 FTE. Use the Hours to FTE tab above to do it instantly.
Usually not. 0.9 FTE is 36 hours on a 40-hour basis. Many employers treat 30 or more hours as full-time for benefits purposes, but 1.0 FTE remains the standard full-time schedule.
