How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Annual Collections ($) = 1000000, Number of Doctors = 1, Number of Hygienists = 2, Number of Assistants = 3 = 8 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Revenue / Staff Member
    Revenue / Staff Member = annualCollections / totalStaff
    125000 = $125,000
  3. Calculate Revenue / Operatory
    Revenue / Operatory = annualCollections / numOperatories
    200000 = $200,000
  4. Calculate Production / Clinical Hour
    Production / Clinical Hour = annualCollections / annualClinicalHours
    651 = $651
