Staffing is usually the biggest expense in a dental practice. This calculator helps you understand whether your current team size is in line with what your revenue can realistically sustain.
Enter your annual gross revenue. If you prefer to work with monthly figures, switch to monthly and we will annualise it for you.
Enter the number of people in each role as full-time equivalents (FTEs). Two people each working half-time equals 1.0 FTE. Dentists are entered separately as they are not included in the benchmark calculation.

How each role group contributes to your total FTE count
The 1 auxiliary staff member per $250,000 annual revenue benchmark is attributed to Sandy Pardue, a leading dental practice management consultant. It is a widely used starting point for assessing staffing sustainability, and one that Dental Business Mastery endorses as a sound general guide.
Whether you are over-staffed, under-staffed, or right on the benchmark, the numbers are only the starting point. We can help you understand what they mean for your practice and work out the best path forward.
