C-4.5 Assessment Calculation Example for General PAF #2

The example below explains the process and calculation of assessments for Sampling Postage Errors. The mailer in the scenario only exceeds the monthly error threshold for Sampling Postage Errors.

Table C-4.5

Assessment Calculation Example Parameters

Example Mailer eDoc and Monthly Seamless Verification Results:

 

Category	Example Parameters
Total eDoc Monthly Postage	$100,000
Total eDoc Postage For Sampled Pieces	$5,327
eDoc Postage for Sampled Pieces with No errors	$4,427
eDoc Postage for Sampled Pieces with Errors	Weight: $648 Postage: $252
Statistically Significant Errors	Weight: No Postage: Yes
Adjusted Postage For Pieces with Postage Errors	Weight: N/A Postage: $572
PAF Threshold	1.05

The process to calculate Postage Verification error verification results and assessments is below:

1. PAF Calculation:

 

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
	=	$572 + $0 + $4427 + $648
		$5327
	=	$ 5647
		$5327
	=	1.060

2. Postage Assessment Calculation:

 

Additional Postage Due	=	Original eDoc Postage (eDoc Submitter)	X	(	PAF	-	PAF Threshold	)
	=	$ 100,000	X	( 1.060 - 1.05 )
	=	$ 100,000	X	.01
	=	$1000
