Capacity Planner
See committed hours per week, available headroom, and an eight-week forecast before you promise another delivery date.
📖 Understand this document
The capacity planner shows how much available time you have to take on new work. It calculates your total available hours minus already-committed time to reveal your true capacity.
Key components
- Total available hours — your working hours per week.
- Committed hours — time already booked for existing clients.
- Available capacity — the gap where you can take on new work.
- Overload warning — alerts when you're booking beyond capacity.

Frequently asked questions
Each active project contributes its hours-per-week for any week whose range overlaps the project start and end (ongoing projects use no end date through the horizon).
Freelancers often say yes in email and pay in nights-and-weekends. Rolling up hours-per-week makes the trade-off visible before you reply.
Use it alongside project profitability when pricing, and the weekly planner when translating totals into concrete blocks.
