# What is Available Time?

In Bramble, 'Available Time' represents the total time spent _at_ work, including Overtime. It does not include Planned or Unplanned Leave.

Available Time can be further broken down into 4 categories:

-   [Output (of Production Tasks)](https://support.brmbl.io/en/articles/6965420-what-is-contribution.md)
    
-   Time spent on [Supporting Tasks](https://support.brmbl.io/en/articles/6963801-what-are-supporting-tasks.md)
    
-   Time lost to [Friction](https://support.brmbl.io/en/articles/6963795-what-is-friction.md)
    
-   [Gap](https://support.brmbl.io/en/articles/7120762-what-is-gap.md).
    

"Available FTE" is arrived at by taking the "Available Time" in hours and dividing it by the average number of working hours per FTE per day.
