How it works
We calculate utilization and waste
Utilization rate is active users divided by seats. Wasted spend multiplies unused seats by your per-seat cost, then annualizes it.

The recommended next steps match your waste level, from routine rechecks to an immediate seat audit.

Frequently asked questions
Does this connect to my actual billing or license account?
No. This tool computes entirely from the numbers you type in — it does not connect to any real license, billing, or usage account. Pull your actual seat and activity counts from your provider's dashboard first for an accurate result.
What counts as an 'active' user?
Use your AI coding tool's own definition of activity in the last 30 days — typically any seat that logged in or made at least one request. Check your provider's admin dashboard for this number.
Why does the tool annualize wasted spend?
A small monthly waste figure can look insignificant, but multiplied across a year it's often the number that justifies actually acting on seat reallocation.
Is 80% utilization a hard threshold?
No — it's a reasonable rule of thumb. Some teams intentionally keep spare seats for onboarding or seasonal contractors, which is a legitimate reason for utilization below 100%.
