About this tool
What the Dental Production per Hour Calculator does
Production per hour is one of the clearest measures of a dental practice’s clinical productivity. Dividing gross production by clinical hours worked, and collections by the same hours, shows the value of each scheduled hour and how much is lost to write-offs and gaps in the schedule.
Formula
- Production per hour = production ÷ clinical hours
- Collection ratio = collections ÷ production
- Unbooked value = unbooked hours × production per booked hour
Worked example
Using the starting values in the calculator above:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Monthly doctor production | $95,000 |
| Monthly collections | $86,000 |
| Clinical hours worked per month | 128 |
| Hours with patients booked | 112 |
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Production per hour | $742 |
| Collections per hour | $672 |
| Collection ratio | 90.5% |
| Schedule utilisation | 87.5% |
| Production value of unbooked hours | $13,571 |
How to read the result
Track gross and net (after write-offs) production separately; in-network fee schedules can make gross figures misleading.
Unbooked chair time is the cheapest production to recover through recall systems and short-notice lists.
