Put in your shift length, your breaks, the time that never touches a room, and your own minutes per turnover. The calculator shows the full working — not just a number to argue with.
No hidden assumptions — this is the whole calculation:
The result is rounded down. A board that needs 11.6 rooms' worth of time is an 11-room board, because the twelfth room is the one that gets rushed.
Every number above is an average standing in for a distribution. That is fine for planning a shift, and not enough for setting a norm.
The calculator is only as good as the two numbers in the middle — your departure and stayover times. Most properties inherit them from a spreadsheet, a brand standard or a contractor's quote, and nobody remembers measuring them.
Hotel IQ measures them automatically: a Bluetooth beacon identifies the room, motion sensors on a phone or smartwatch recognise the cleaning, and every turnover is timed second by second — per room, per segment, with no stopwatch and nothing for the team to enter.
