Cost per practitioner calculator
Divide total practitioner-related costs by headcount for a quick per-FTE benchmark.
Introduction
Benchmarking cost per practitioner helps owners compare sites or years. Include pay, employer NI, professional subscriptions you fund, and any revenue-linked bonuses in your total.
Exclude purely corporate overheads unless you allocate them deliberately using the same rule each time.

Context and how to use this
Cost per FTE helps compare years or sites when headcount changes slowly. Include elements you consistently classify as practitioner cost—bonuses, funded CPD, employer NI if that is your norm.
Do not silently fold corporate overheads into this ratio unless you allocate them on purpose.
Common questions
- Headcount or FTE?
- Use FTE if people work part-time; raw headcount exaggerates cost per “full” clinician.
- Locums included?
- If locum spend sits in the same budget line you are analysing, include it and note that the denominator mixes employment types.
