Office Space Sizing Calculator: How Much Space Can You Cut?

Office rightsizing is the process of adjusting your office space footprint to match actual employee attendance patterns. In a hybrid workplace, not everyone is in the office every day, so you likely need fewer desks than employees.

Industry benchmarks show peak utilization typically ranges from 50-80%. A rate of 75% means that on your busiest day, only 75% of desks are occupied. If your utilization is below 70%, you have significant rightsizing potential.

75 sq ft per desk is the industry standard for calculating office space per workstation in the US and Europe. This includes the desk footprint plus shared space like aisles, common areas, and amenities.

This calculator provides a high-level estimate based on your inputs and city average rent data. For precise savings, use Workplacify to track your actual real-time desk utilization data.
