Using the estimate
The dental production goal calculator adds annual overhead and desired owner income to estimate required collections, then divides by the entered collection rate to estimate required production. Working days and clinical hours convert that annual figure into daily and hourly planning targets.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Add annual overhead and the desired owner-income target. For example, $800,000 of overhead plus $250,000 of owner income requires $1,050,000 in collections before other omitted uses of cash.
Step 2
At a 96% collection rate, $1,050,000 in required collections corresponds to approximately $1,093,750 in production. A lower collection-rate assumption increases the production target.
Step 3
Compare daily and hourly results with available chairs, provider time, procedure mix, cancellations, and staffing. The calculation identifies a target; it does not establish that the schedule can support it.
