Sprint capacity calculator
List your team, mark days off and part-time people, and see the hours you really have this sprint.
How to use it
- Enter the number of working days in the sprint. Two weeks is usually 10.
- List each person, the share of their time on this sprint, and any days off.
- Add your average velocity if you use story points.
- Open Adjust assumptions to change focus hours per day (6 by default) and sprint meeting hours (6 by default).
The sprint capacity formula
For each person:
(working days − days off) × focus hours a day × share on the sprint − their share of sprint meetings
Example: a 10-day sprint, 6 focus hours a day, 6 hours of meetings.
- Full-time, no days off: 10 × 6 − 6 = 54 hours
- Half-time: 27 hours
- Two days off: 8 × 6 − 4.8 = 43.2 hours
Add everyone up and you have the team's capacity.
Why 6 focus hours, not 8
Nobody does 8 hours of planned work a day. Email, questions, reviews and interruptions take a slice. Six is a common, honest starting point. If your team tracks time, use your real number.
Story points
If you know your average velocity, the calculator scales it by this sprint's capacity. If you usually finish 40 points and this sprint has 84% of normal capacity, plan for about 34.
Then plan to about 80% of that. The rest absorbs the bugs and surprises nobody put on the board.
Where M-Tracker fits
This calculator is a snapshot you fill in by hand. M-Tracker keeps it live: leave is recorded per person, planned hours sit next to available hours each week, and tracked time shows what the sprint actually took. Jira issues can be imported as tasks, and finished work can be reviewed inside Jira.

Questions people ask
Is it free?
Yes. Nothing is stored.
Does it work for Kanban?
Use one or two weeks as the "sprint" and it gives you weekly capacity.
Should I convert story points to hours?
Not with a fixed rate. Use velocity scaled by capacity, as this calculator does.
Work you can trust, without redoing it.
Your team gets feedback before work reaches you, or your client.
