Description
Return research payment, expense and foregone-income gaps.
Participant time, compensation and renewal timing depend on explicit assumptions about visits, expenses, comprehension and applicable rules. A supplied rate or elapsed-time threshold can support bookkeeping while fair compensation, accessibility and valid consent require a broader contextual assessment.
Return research payment, expense and foregone-income gaps.
When to use this tool
Use Research Payment Foregone Expense Gap when checking the stated research payment, burden, reading-time or renewal convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter promisedPayment, paid, incurredExpense, foregoneIncome. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read unpaid, netOfExpense, uncompensatedBurden. Use the output convention below.
Return research payment, expense and foregone-income gaps. Require nonnegative amounts; unpaid = promised-paid, netOfExpense = paid-expense, uncompensatedBurden = expense+foregoneIncome-paid.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| promisedPayment | Promised Payment | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| paid | Paid | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| incurredExpense | Incurred Expense | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| foregoneIncome | Foregone Income | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| unpaid | Promised minus paid, retaining negative amounts for payments above the promise. | Required. Finite number. |
| netOfExpense | Net Of Expense | Required. Finite number. |
| uncompensatedBurden | Uncompensated Burden | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Negative gaps are retained; arithmetic does not determine fair compensation, undue influence or enforceable payment rights.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use participant-centered evidence and the original protocol and consent process; review payment, accessibility and renewal choices with the responsible ethics and professional teams.
