Sales rep capacity calculator.

Most sales orgs over-stack accounts on reps because the org chart was designed before AI compressed prep time. This calculator tells you how many accounts each rep can credibly own in traditional vs AI-enabled mode — and what that means for headcount.

How the math works

What's behind the calculation

Capacity per rep = (active selling hours × 60 min) ÷ (prep time per touch × touches per quarter). The math is intentionally conservative — it excludes the time freed up on follow-ups, proposal drafting, and call prep (all of which also compress with AI).

The interpretation: AI doesn't typically mean "fire most of your reps." It means each remaining rep can credibly own a much larger book. Most healthy AI-native sales orgs use this capacity to upgrade rep seniority and territory quality rather than just shrink headcount. The headcount-savings number above is a theoretical maximum, not a recommendation.
