Therapy Productivity Calculator
Built for PT, OT & SLP clinicians. Enter your start time, billable minutes and productivity target to find your perfect end time — plus lunch breaks, concurrent/group crediting, billing units and documentation time.
Your everyday shift math: how long you need to work, and what time you get to walk out the door.
How this is calculated
Total time worked = billable minutes ÷ (productivity % ÷ 100). Perfect end time = start time + total time worked. Minutes are truncated (rounded down) if a fractional minute occurs.
Total time worked includes billable and non-billable time (documentation, transitions, set-up). If your facility requires an unpaid break that doesn't count toward worked time, use the lunch break calculator instead.
Same math as the standard calculator, then an unpaid lunch is added on top — because your lunch break doesn't count toward productive time.
How this is calculated
Perfect end time = start time + (billable minutes ÷ productivity target), same as the standard calculator. End time including lunch = perfect end time + lunch minutes.
Lunch never changes your productivity % or your billable minutes — it only pushes your final walk-out time later, because unpaid time away from work doesn't count as worked time.
Add concurrent or group crediting if your facility counts shared-patient minutes differently for productivity tracking.
Rules snapshot (informational — confirm your payer/facility policy)
- SNF Part A (PDPM): concurrent = 2 residents, different activities, line-of-sight; group = 2–6, similar activity; combined group + concurrent is capped at 25% of total minutes per discipline.
- Medicare Part B: there is no separate "concurrent" category — simultaneous treatment is billed as group under 97150 guidance.
- SLP: 92508 covers group speech/language/voice, not all diagnosis types under every payer.
This tool estimates credited minutes for productivity tracking only — it is not billing advice. Adjusted billable minutes = base billable minutes + credited concurrent/group minutes.
Convert therapy minutes into billing units, or a unit count back into a minute range.

For Medicare timed therapy services, add eligible timed minutes for the same discipline and date of service, then use the total to find billable units. This is an educational workflow tool, not billing advice — payer contracts and facility policy control final decisions.
Estimate how much of your day goes to notes — daily, weekly and yearly.
How this is calculated
Daily = minutes per patient × patients per day. Weekly = daily × work days per week. Yearly = weekly × 52. % of an 8-hour day = daily ÷ 480 × 100.
This is an estimate — actual documentation time varies by setting, payer requirements and workflow.
Estimates for planning purposes only. Billing rules vary by payer, state and facility — confirm concurrent/group crediting and unit conversions against your employer's policy before relying on them.
