Value of Volunteer Time Calculator
Volunteer hours are real value. Multiply your logged hours by the national value of volunteer time to get a dollar figure and a full-time-equivalent for your board and grant reports.
Your volunteers contributed $72,363 in value, the equivalent of 1.0 full-time staff. This figure is widely cited in annual reports and grant applications as in-kind contribution. Note the hourly rate and year you used.
The value per hour is prefilled with a recent national average published by Independent Sector. It changes each year and varies by state, so update it to the most current figure for your report.

Log the hours, show the value
DatoVero's Volunteers module logs hours with kiosk check-in and exports the totals your board and grant reports need, so this number is always accurate.
