The process to calculate Postage Verification error verification results and assessments is below:
General PAF
=
Sum of Adjusted Postage for Pieces Sampled with Statistically Significant Sampling Errors (Postage, Weight) + eDoc Postage for Pieces Sampled not in Error + eDoc Postage for Pieces with Sampling Errors not Statistically Significant
Sum of eDoc Postage for all Sampled Pieces
$429 + $372 + $873 + $0
$1500
$1674
