Weekly Recoupment
Calculate weekly recoupment and a simple remaining-capital horizon.
Description
Weekly recoupment is gross less the supplied weekly costs.
Weekly recoupment is gross less the supplied weekly costs. A simple remaining-capital horizon assumes that contribution continues at a constant rate.1
Calculate weekly recoupment and a simple remaining-capital horizon.
When to use Weekly Recoupment
Use this tool to calculate weekly recoupment and a simple remaining-capital horizon.
Prepare the measurements or record lists for the intended production, performer, cohort or planning period. Confirm units, shared time/coordinate conventions and supplied targets.
How to use Weekly Recoupment and understand its results
- Prepare the measurements or record lists for the intended production, performer, cohort or planning period. Confirm units, shared time/coordinate conventions and supplied targets.
- Enter weeklyGross, weeklyVariableCosts, weeklyFixedCosts, unrecoupedCapital using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read weeklyRecoupment, projectedWeeksToRecoup, currentlyRecouping. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| weeklyGross | Weekly gross | number; minimum: 0 | Required |
| weeklyVariableCosts | Weekly variable costs | number; minimum: 0 | Required |
| weeklyFixedCosts | Weekly fixed costs | number; minimum: 0 | Required |
| unrecoupedCapital | Unrecouped capital | number; minimum: 0 | Required |
Enter nonnegative gross, both cost totals and remaining capital in one currency. Compute contribution. If it is positive, return fractional weeks and currentlyRecouping=true; otherwise return projectedWeeksToRecoup=0 with currentlyRecouping=false. Read the flag to distinguish that placeholder from immediate payback.
weeklyRecoupment=gross−variableCosts−fixedCosts; weeks=unrecoupedCapital/positiveRecoupment Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| weeklyRecoupment | Weekly recoupment | number |
| projectedWeeksToRecoup | Projected weeks to recoup | number; minimum: 0 |
| currentlyRecouping | Currently recouping | boolean |

}Limitations and assumptions
No tax, financing, profit participation or time-varying performance is modeled. A zero-week placeholder under losses does not mean capital is recouped; zero capital with positive contribution gives true and zero weeks.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.
