Warehouse staffing calculator
Estimate minimum and resilient employees from required people per shift, shifts per day, paid shift length, operating days, contract hours and a resilience allowance.
Estimate the team needed to cover every warehouse shift.
Calculate one operational role at a time to separate true coverage demand from the additional capacity needed for leave, absence, training and normal disruption.
Start your workspaceCalculate by role
Run the estimate separately for supervisors, material handlers, drivers, engineers and any other role that cannot substitute safely.
Use paid hours
Enter the weekly paid contract hours available for coverage after unpaid breaks are deducted.
Add resilience deliberately
The allowance is not a legal rule. Choose it from actual leave, absence, training and vacancy experience.
Validate the rota
A headcount estimate does not prove that a workable sequence of days, nights and rest periods exists.
