48/96 Schedule Generator
A 48/96 rotation repeats two consecutive duty days followed by four days off. As with any extended-duty pattern, organizations should apply their own safety, policy, and labor requirements.
Enter your scheduling assumptions
Change the inputs and the result updates immediately. Keep the assumptions realistic—the output is only as useful as the staffing model you give it.
2 work/duty days in each 6-day cycle
This calendar shows the stated repeating pattern. Team phase offsets, day/night handoffs, local policy, labor rules, and qualification requirements still need to be applied for an operational schedule.
Method
The generator repeats two consecutive 24-hour duty periods followed by four full calendar days off.
Example
Two 24-hour duty periods in each six-day cycle also average 56 scheduled duty hours per seven calendar days.
What the answer means
Treat the calendar as the repeating skeleton for one team. Multi-team operations still need crew offsets, day/night assignments, handoffs, qualifications, and coverage validation.
What this tool does not prove
This is a calendar preview, not a recommendation for extended-duration work. Confirm occupational, fatigue, contract, and legal requirements independently.

Capacity math cannot see every person-level scheduling constraint
A staffing model can be mathematically feasible and still fail when only certain people are qualified for a role, approved absences remove key people, assignments overlap, rest windows are too short, or coverage changes on specific dates. Those are the checks RoleSchedule keeps attached to the schedule itself.
