Finding the perfect office space for your company can be a daunting task, as every business has unique needs, goals, and budgets. One size certainly does not fit all in the world of office spaces.

Fortunately, with our Ultimate Office Cost Calculator, you can accurately estimate the costs involved and efficiently plan your office relocation. By leveraging this powerful tool, you’ll make informed decisions and save both time and money throughout the process.

If you’re looking to estimate your office space cost in a way that’s accurate for the location you’re looking at, this office space calculator will help you make informed decisions and save time and money in the process.

So, give it a try! It only takes a minute and you’ll come away knowing what you could expect to be paying for a flexible office in your area with Hubble — the ultimate flexible workspace platform, here to help businesses give their teams access to great places to work.

How do I calculate how much office space I need?

To calculate how much office space you need, we’d recommend surveying your employees to find out how much they plan on using the office every week.

At Hubble, we recently moved into our brand new part-time office and this is how we figured out what to do:

First, we looked at our existing office usage to help us establish interesting trends or patterns. We then asked our team to:

  • Classify themselves as either regular or irregular office users
  • State why they typically use the office and what they enjoy about it
  • Explain what would encourage them to use the office more often, i.e. location, amenities, etc.
  • Give their opinion on what they think we should do with our decision
  • State which locations they prefer and give multiple options

Of course, how complicated surveying your team will be will depend on the size of your team, how distributed your employees are, and what your specific workspace strategy is.

But for us at Hubble, the decision helped us save £129k a year by moving to a part-time office. This is a 60% saving vs before, and we’re roughly in the same location with a similar quality office and a happy and productive team.

This has ultimately allowed us to have our cake and eat it — reducing our total office spend by 45% whilst ensuring our team feels happy and productive.

How does our calculator work? 🤓

Powered by our extensive bank of price data for available private offices, our calculator estimates how much you’ll need to spend on your office according to the expected price per desk in your area.

For context, in London, you can expect to pay around £500 per desk per month, meaning if you were to take a 20-person office in a central location, you’d be looking at paying £10,000 per month.

Here are questions the calculator asks to help give you an estimate of how much you’ll spend on your office space:

1) How many employees does your company have in total?

We’ll ask for the number of people employed by your company to help us understand the size of your organisation.

2) What do you expect from employees when it comes to working from the office?

We’ll inquire about the expectations or requirements your company has for employees working from the office. For example, attendance, specific work hours, or any other office policies.

3) 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.

4) 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.

5) How many months will you need your office for?

This question helps us understand the duration you intend to use the office space so we can give you the best workspace options depending on whether you’ll need the office long-term or short-term.
