Group Project Contribution Split Planner
Build a fair workload split for team assignments. Enter total project hours, the number of teammates, a buffer percentage, and the share of work to reassign if one member falls behind to see per-person allocations.
CalcSimpler Examples
- 120 h project, 4 members, 15% buffer, 50% penalty ⇒ 30.0 h base + 4.5 h buffer | If one misses: +5.0 h each
- 80 h project, 3 members, 20% buffer, 40% penalty ⇒ 26.7 h base + 5.3 h buffer | If one misses: +5.3 h each
FAQ
What does the buffer percentage represent?
It adds contingency time to each member's workload to cover unexpected tasks or review cycles.
How is the penalty applied?
If one teammate misses their share, the selected percentage of their workload is divided equally among the remaining members.
Can I model different penalties for multiple members?
Run the calculator multiple times with adjusted penalties to simulate different risk scenarios.
Additional Information
- Base hours equal total project hours divided by team size.
- Buffer time can be used for peer review, editing, or unexpected scope changes.
- Redistributed workload assumes only one member under-delivers at a time.
