Operational Cost Per Collection

Money

Determines the cost associated with each collection effort. Helps companies optimize their collection strategies and resources. High costs may suggest inefficiencies in the collections process.

Formula

Total Operational Costs / Number of Successful Collections

Example

If total operational costs are $10,000 and there were 100 collections, operational cost per collection is 10,000 / 100 = $100.
