Agency training toolkit / Training time and cost
Training time and cost calculator
Estimate staff learning hours and the cost of a training plan. Enter your own assumptions to prepare a budget discussion.
Build your estimate
Staff hours = learners × hours per person. Staff time cost = staff hours × hourly cost. Course fees = learners × course price. Total = rounded staff time cost + rounded course fees + other costs.
Use one average cost for the group. Include any separate costs you want to budget, such as coverage or materials, only once.
Enter your numbers and choose Calculate estimate.
The sample values are illustrative; the 8 hours are an example chosen for this calculator, not a course duration. Change every value to reflect your plan. The result is an estimate of the costs you enter, not a quote.
Use the result
Confirm paid time, coverage and other expenses with your team; avoid counting the same expense twice. For different pay rates or training hours, calculate separate groups and add the estimates.
