Overage Charge Profile

Fields

See Commercial How To document 353

 

 

The Overage amount is calculated using a series of breakpoints and percentages.

The Base amount is the amount you will not be charging overage on, similar to a deductible.

Take the difference between the Base and the first breakpoint, apply the first %

Calculate the difference between the second and third breakpoints, apply the second %

Calculate the difference between the third and fourth breakpoint, apply the third %

Continue for up to 5 breakpoints and percentages

Calculate the difference between the last breakpoint and the Source Amount and apply the last %

Add all together to arrive at the Overage charge amount.

Example 1

The tenant has negotiated an arrangement to have a $250 deductible on all maintenance charges. After that he pays different percentages of the maintenance charges as follows:

 

50% of the next $500, 25% of any amount between $750 and $2000, 100% of any amount over $2000.

Scheduled Charges - Overage

 

Source Amount - $2,742.80

from the transactions in the owner ledger

1st Break - 250

 formula: (Second - Base) x Base Percentage

calculations: (750 - 250) = 500 x 50%

2nd Break - 312.50

 formula: (Third - Second) x Second Percentage

calculations: (2000 - 750) = 1250 x 25%

3rd Break (last) - 742.80

 formula: (Source Amount - Third x Third Percentage

calculations: (2742.80 - 2000) x 100% = 742.80

Net Charge - 1,305.30

 formula: the sum of each break, in this case 1st Break + 2nd Break + 3rd Break

calculations: 250 + 312.50 + 742.80

 

A charge is posted to the tenant for $1,305.30.

 

Example 2

Overage charges are calculated annually based on annual sales figures for the tenant. The first $7,000 in sales will not be subject to overage charges. After that, the following charges apply:

 

any amount between $7,000 and 10,000 will be charged 10%; between 10,000 and 15,000 will be charged 7%, between 15,000 and 18,000 will be charged 3%; and above 18,000 will be charged 1%.

Scheduled Charges - Overage

Compile the overage charges. The Source Amount for the tenant will be 0. Fill in the Source Amount with the $25,000 and the amounts will be calculated.

1st Break - 300

 formula: Second - Base x Base Percentage

calculations: 10,000 - 7,000 = 3,000 x 10%

2nd Break - 350

 formula: Third - Second x Second Percentage

calculations: 15,000 - 10,000 = 5,000 x 7%

3rd Break - 90

 formula: Fourth - Third x Third Percentage

calculations: 18,000 - 15,000 = 3,000 x 3%

4th Break - 70

 formula: Source Amount - Fourth x Fourth Percentage

calculations: 25,000 - 18,000 = 7,000 x 1%

Net Charge - 810

 formula: the sum of each break, in this case 1st Break + 2nd Break + 3rd Break + Fourth Break

calculations: 300 + 350 + 90 + 70

 

A charge will posted to the tenant for $810
