Maintenance Tech Capacity Calculator
Maintenance tech capacity sizing helps property managers decide whether to hire, contract, or restructure dispatch. Healthy utilization is 70-85% — leaves room for emergency response and preventive maintenance. This calculator computes utilization, surplus or shortfall, and the FTE count needed to handle current ticket demand at target utilization.

Techs needed for demand

How the math works
Tech capacity = techs × hours × tickets/hour × weeks. Healthy utilization 70-85% — leaves room for emergency response and PM. Above 95% = chronic backlog. Below 60% = overstaffed.
Add 0.5 FTE per 600-800 units typical multifamily. Older properties or higher-amenity properties (pools, gyms) push toward 0.5/400-500.
How to Use
- Enter tech count, hours per week, and tickets per hour rate.
- Enter weeks worked per year and annual ticket demand.
- Read utilization, capacity, surplus/shortfall, and FTEs needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
FTE per unit ratio?
Standard: 0.5 FTE per 600-800 units. Older or amenity-rich (pool, gym, lots of common): 0.5/400-500. Newer Class A: 0.5/800-1,000.
Tickets per hour?
1.0-1.5 typical for routine service. Specialty work (HVAC, plumbing repair) closer to 0.5. Make-readies handled separately, not in the routine ticket flow.
Cross-trained tech vs specialist?
Cross-trained generalist handles 80% of tickets faster (no scheduling specialist). Specialist for HVAC, plumbing, electrical only when needed. Most properties go cross-trained.
