A half ham typically weighs between 5 to 10 pounds, depending on the size of the ham. It can generally feed about 8 to 12 people, assuming each person has a serving size of about 4 to 6 ounces. The total number of servings may vary based on the side dishes served and the appetites of the guests. Adjustments may be needed for larger gatherings or if ham is the main dish.
That will feed approximately 120 people.

A general rule of thumb is that a boneless ham will provide around 0.25 pounds of meat per person. Therefore, a 6-pound boneless ham would feed approximately 24 people.
A sixteen pound ham may feed 18-20 people
Just throw as much as you want in.
If it is a boneless ham, figure on it feeding 24 to 28 people. If it is a bone-in ham, I guess it might feed 18 to 20, but that depends on how big the bone actually is.
10 to 12 people presuming you are serving other things with it.
From what I've researched, it seems that you should count on 2 servings per pound, so for 30 people, you will need a 15 pound ham. If you want leftovers though, you should go bigger (that is for bone-in ham).

The number of people a 20 lb. spiral cut ham would feed depends in part on whether the ham has the bone in or not. A general rule of thumb is that ham will feed about four people per pound, or three if it has the bone in.
