How to Calculate Capacity Utilization

Formula

Capacity Utilization = (Actual Output / Maximum Capacity) x 100

Capacity utilization shows how much of your productive capability you are using. Very high utilization (above 95%) leaves no room for unexpected demand or maintenance, while very low utilization (below 70%) means resources are sitting idle and fixed costs are spread across fewer units. The sweet spot for most operations is 80-90%.

Exemplo Resolvido

A factory has maximum capacity of 10,000 units per month and actually produces 8,000.

  1. Capacity Utilization = (8,000 / 10,000) x 100 = 80%
  2. Unused Capacity = 10,000 - 8,000 = 2,000 units
  3. Idle Capacity = (2,000 / 10,000) x 100 = 20%
