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
Each row shows Your Practice vs. the benchmark average for your revenue tier. The difference is expressed in percentage points (pp) — the arithmetic difference between two percentages.
