How does our calculator work? 🤓
Powered by Hubble’s extensive market data for available private offices, our office calculator estimates how much you’ll need to spend on your office according to the expected price per desk in your area.
Our calculators are based on two simple questions:
1) How many desks will you need?
This question asks for information about the number of workstations or desks your company requires, allowing us to understand the space requirements for your office.
2) Which location did you have in mind?
We’ll ask about the specific geographical location or address that you are considering. It helps narrow options or understand preferences related to an office’s physical location.
How do I calculate how many desks I need?
Knowing the number of desks you’ll require in your new office is dependant upon your workspace strategy, but ultimately comes down to the maximum capacity you’ll need on any given day.
For companies that are 5 days a week in the office, this calculation is relatively simple, but hybrid- or employee preference-based strategies require more thought. Key factors include:
- Whether you mandate your team in for office days or have full employee preference – the latter poses the greatest challenge for calculating capacity, as it’s likely to vary a lot day-to-day. For this we recommend surveying your team to help inform your decision.
- Whether you spread out team attendance across different days of the week, or have mandated office days for all the team – the latter can create the need for a lot of office capacity, and the greater likelihood of having quiet days, where you’re paying for desks that you don’t use.
