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	By/For	3,755,620	73,263,740	5.13%	5.00%	92,433

The process to calculate By/For Error verification results and assessments is below:

1. Error Percentage Calculation:

 

Error Percentage	=	# of Full-Service Pieces with By/For Errors in eDoc
		Total # of Full-Service Pieces Submitted in eDoc
	=	3,755,620 Pieces
		73,263,740 Pieces
	=	5.13%

2. Pieces Above Error Threshold Calculation:

 

Pieces Above Error Threshold	=	# of Full-Service Pieces with By/For Errors in eDoc	-	(	Total # of Full-Service Pieces Submitted in eDoc	x	Error Threshold Percentage	)
	=	3,755,620 Pieces	-	( 73,263,740 pieces x .05 )
	=	92,433 Pieces

3. Postage Assessment Calculation:

 

Additional Postage Due	=	# Pieces Above Error Threshold	x	Full-Service Discount Claimed
	=	92,433 Pieces x $.003
	=	$277.30
