Assessment Calculation Example Results

Monthly Full-Service Verification Results

 

Error Level	Error Type	# of Errors	# eDoc Full-Service Pieces	Error Percentage	Error Threshold	Errors Above Error Threshold
Piece	STID	2,534,260	85,163,350	2.98%	2.00%	830,993

The process to calculate STID Error verification results and assessments is below:

1. Error Percentage Calculation:

 

Error Percentage	=	# of Full-Service Pieces with STID Errors in eDoc
		Total # of Full-Service Pieces Submitted in eDoc
	=	2,534,260 Pieces
		85,163,350 Pieces
	=	2.98%

2. Pieces Above Error Threshold Calculation:

 

Pieces Above Error Threshold	=	# of Full-Service Pieces with STID Errors in eDoc	-	(	Total # of Full-Service Pieces Submitted in eDoc	x	Error Threshold Percentage	)
	=	2,534,260 Pieces	-	( 85,163,350 pieces x .02 )
	=	830,993 Pieces

3. Postage Assessment Calculation:

 

Additional Postage Due	=	# Pieces Above Error Threshold	x	Full-Service Discount Claimed
	=	830,993 Pieces x $.003
	=	$2,492.98
