How Expense Targets Are Calculated

Staff Costs & Facility — Fixed Dollar Inputs

Enter a target dollar amount. These fields auto-fill from your Current Year actuals and can be overridden. The percentage shown is calculated as: Target $ ÷ Projected Revenue.

Clinical & Direct Operating — Variable Dollar Inputs

Enter a target dollar amount, or leave blank to auto-calculate. When Current Year Revenue is entered, the field populates using: CY Expense ÷ CY Revenue × Projected Revenue. The percentage shown next to the field is the derived rate: Target $ ÷ Projected Revenue. Comparison bars always display percentages for benchmark comparison.

Benchmark Comparison Bars
