Productivity Index (PI)

--

Calculation Formula

PI = (Output Value) / (Input Hours × Input Resources Cost)

Where:
PI = Productivity Index
Output Value = Total value generated
Input Hours = Total hours worked
Input Resources Cost = Total cost of resources used

Interpretation

Enter values and calculate to see productivity interpretation.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter your Total Output Value - this could be revenue generated, tasks completed, or any measurable output.
  2. Input the Total Hours Worked on this output.
  3. Enter the Total Resources Cost associated with this output (materials, expenses, etc.).
  4. Click the Calculate button to compute your Productivity Index.
  5. Review the results and interpretation to understand your efficiency level.

Understanding Productivity Index (PI)

The Productivity Index measures how efficiently you're converting inputs (time and resources) into outputs. A higher PI indicates better efficiency.

Example Scenario

Scenario: A design team worked 40 hours on a project and spent $5,000 on resources, generating $20,000 in client value.

Calculation: PI = $20,000 / (40 hours × $5,000) = $20,000 / $200,000 = 0.10

Interpretation: This would be considered a "Very Low" productivity level, suggesting significant room for improvement in converting resources to value.

Practical Applications

  • Track team or individual performance over time
  • Compare productivity across different projects or departments
  • Identify areas where efficiency can be improved
  • Make data-driven decisions about resource allocation
