What does supervision cost between here and 3,000 hours?
The Board sets the units: one a week, two in any week with more than ten direct hours, a unit being an hour of individual or two of group. Enter your week, what you have banked, your mix and your rates; the page counts the weeks left, the supervision hours they require, and what that costs you after the employer’s share.
Your week and your rates →Your week and your rates
The Board fixes the units. You fix the schedule, the mix and the price.
Credited hours are what you log in a week, supervision included, up to the 40 the Board credits. Direct hours are face-to-face psychotherapy in that week; more than ten and the week needs two units. Banked figures come from your Experience Verification forms. The group share is the part of each week’s units you take as group supervision (two hours per unit). Rates are what you or your employer pay per hour; the employer share is what they cover. The LMFT rules are applied here; the ASW and APCC pages carry their own.
At other schedules
The same banked hours and rates, at seven weekly loads.

Weeks left, supervision hours and your share at your banked figures, mix, rates and employer share; direct hours are capped at the weekly load. The 104-week floor shows as a flat row of weeks once the load is high enough to reach it.
The rules, as the handbook states them
Five lines from the Board’s LMFT handbook.
Every week claimed must contain at least one unit of supervision. A unit is one hour of individual or triadic supervision, or two hours of group supervision.
The associate ratio, per setting. (Trainees average one unit per five direct hours instead.)
Supervision counts toward the 40, as non-clinical experience.
Group-only weeks count toward 104, not toward these 52.
The page projects your direct total from the weekly figure and says if the schedule falls short.
How it computes
Units, then weeks, then hours, then dollars.
More than ten direct hours in the week means two units; otherwise one. Your group share splits the units: an individual unit is one hour, a group unit two. Hours above six a week are worked but not credited, and the page says so.
3,000 minus banked hours, divided by credited hours a week, rounded up; or 104 minus banked weeks, whichever is larger. When the second is larger the floor binds and working more hours a week does not shorten the wait.
Weeks × supervision hours a week, split by mix, priced at your two rates, reduced by the employer’s share. Per month divides by 4.33 weeks; per banked hour divides by the hours left.
Projected direct hours against the 1,750 minimum, and weeks containing an individual or triadic hour against the 52 required. A schedule that is all group supervision banks weeks toward 104 and none toward 52.

Where every figure came from
Sources.
Rates, employer share, mix and schedule are the reader’s. The page applies the LMFT rules; the ASW and APCC hour rules differ and have their own pages. AB 1598 (Chapter 528) moves the hours window and the registration's life to seven years from 1 January 2027; the tracker page quotes it.
