Forecast RVU compensation
Enter your production once a month. Track pace against the threshold actually in force, see the projected bonus across a band measured from your own variability, and price what one more OR day, clinic day, or procedure block is worth under your real compensation plan.
Need the code-level lookup instead? Open the RVU calculator.
Enter wRVU totals only. Do not enter patient names, medical record numbers, dates of service, diagnoses, or any other protected health information anywhere in DoctorCalculator. This dashboard stores period totals and your own contract terms, nothing else.
Your compensation plan
Entered once and kept. Come back each month and only the production row changes.
From your compensation plan: production above this earns the bonus rate. Pace below is measured against it.
Periods covered by a salary guarantee. The threshold is prorated out of them.
Paid independently of production.
Optional. Enables the per-clinical-hour figure.
Optional. Shows the pace needed to reach it.
Production by month
wRVU totals only. Leave future periods blank.
Nothing recorded yet
Enter one period of production and the pace, projection, and bonus forecast appear here.
Start with your threshold, your rate, and the periods you have closed. One month is enough to get a projection, though the tool will tell you plainly that a one-month projection is fragile.
These are modeled estimates from wRVU totals and contract terms you entered, not a compensation statement and not an employer document. Production bonus is projected straight-line from your recorded average with no seasonality applied, so a block-scheduled surgeon should read an early-year projection cautiously. Reconcile against your employer's own production reports before relying on any figure.
Common questions
How is pace calculated?
Against where the threshold says you should be today, not against the full-year number. Comparing production to date with an annual threshold makes every physician look behind in January and the signal useless. If part of your year is covered by a salary guarantee, those periods are removed from the threshold before pace is measured.
How are the downside and upside projections produced?
From your own recorded variability, not an invented percentage. With three or more recorded periods the band is one standard deviation of your actual per-period production, annualized. With fewer than three there is not enough data to measure variability, so a flat 15 percent band is used and the tool says so on the card.
Are tiered rates handled correctly?
Yes, marginally. Each tier's rate applies only to the wRVUs inside that tier's band, which is how compensation plans actually pay. Applying the top tier's rate to all production above the threshold is the most common way these forecasts come out too optimistic.
What happens if my rate changes mid-year?
The two rates are blended by the number of periods each covers, and the result is labeled as a blend. Allocating annual excess production to specific months requires your compensation plan's own allocation rules, which this model does not have, so it will not pretend to do exact period-level attribution.
What data does this store?
Period wRVU totals and the contract terms you enter, in this browser and, when you are signed in, on your account. Nothing else. Never enter patient names, medical record numbers, dates of service, diagnoses, or any other protected health information.
Is this my employer's number?
No. It is a modeled estimate from totals you typed in. Your employer's production reports and compensation statements are authoritative. Use this to know what to expect and what to ask about, then reconcile.
