Net Collection Rate Calculator

The Net Collection Rate (NCR) measures the efficiency with which payments are collected relative to the total amount expected, providing valuable insights into the financial health of a business.

Formula

The formula to calculate the Net Collection Rate is:

\[ NCR = \frac{PR}{PA} \times 100 \]

where:

• \( NCR \) is the Net Collection Rate (%),
• \( PR \) is the total payments received ($),
• \( PA \) is the total payments expected ($).

Example Calculation

If your business receives $80,000 in total payments but expects to receive $100,000, the Net Collection Rate is calculated as follows:

\[ NCR = \frac{80000}{100000} \times 100 = 80 \% \]
