ROI Calculator

What should better management return?

Run the math before you spend the money.

Management has a cost. Better management should also reduce waste, absorb work you already pay for, improve operating performance, and create value. Enter your own numbers and stress-test the economics before you decide whether the investment makes sense.

The arithmetic

Your numbers. Our observed savings rates.

Enter the actual expenses from your last full year. The calculator applies XpoNential's observed client savings rates where we have enough experience to do so, and conservative working assumptions where results vary more widely. Every assumption is visible and can be adjusted before you rely on the result.

Step one

Practice economics

Annual collections

Locations

Annual operating profitBefore owner distributions. If you know adjusted EBITDA, use that number. Leave blank if you only want to model cash-flow improvement.

Step two

Spend XpoNential may reduce

Enter what you spent on each line in the last twelve months. Leave blank anything you do not pay for. The greyed number in a box is context for where practices often land as a share of collections. It is not an estimate of yours, and it is not the savings formula. Modeled savings are your entered spend multiplied by the rate shown under Adjust assumptions.

Supplies

Lab, testing and fabricationOutside production tied to your procedures. Dental lab and restorative fabrication, diagnostic and blood testing, compounding, imaging read by a third party. Procedure mix can legitimately raise this line, and associate chargeback practices affect it too.

MarketingThe default models removable inefficiency, attribution cleanup, channel overlap and vendor terms. It is not a recommendation to cut marketing across the board.

Software and technologyRedundant systems, unused tools, duplicate functions and contract cleanup.

Credit card processingRealized savings depend on the payment structure adopted and card-network requirements.

Spend that may be absorbed or reduced

Some of these functions sit inside the engagement. Others are reduced rather than replaced. Enter what you spent on each line in the last twelve months. Leave blank anything you do not pay for.

BookkeepingEnter bookkeeping only. Exclude tax preparation, tax advisory, audit, and other CPA work. If your provider bundles tax and bookkeeping, enter only the portion reasonably attributable to bookkeeping. XpoNential absorbs bookkeeping within the engagement. Tax work is not included.

Recurring legalXpoNential includes access to a limited recurring legal retainer. Specialized, transaction, employment, litigation, and other separately scoped legal work is not included.

Data analyticsModeled at full replacement where the current analytics expense is replaced by what XpoNential provides.

Patient financingPatient financing expense can often be improved through program mix, fees, adoption, and operating discipline. The default is a working estimate, not a guarantee.

HR and payroll administrationThe administrative service or function only. Not employee wages, payroll taxes, benefits, workers compensation, or other labor expense.

Administrative outside servicesConsulting, coaching, outsourced administrative work. The default is a working assumption.

Your time, optional

If management work is taking clinical or revenue-producing time away from you, this estimates the opportunity value of giving those hours back. It is shown on its own and never added to the savings or the income figure.

Admin hours per weekReconciling accounts, paying bills, running payroll, vendors, hiring.

Production per working day

Scheduled working hours per day

Your result

Add the operating expenses you paid in the last twelve months to see how much of the engagement may be offset before growth is considered.

1. What XpoNential costs

Annual XpoNential investment

2. What current spend may offset

Modeled annual savings and absorbed spend

Each line is your entered spend multiplied by the rate you accepted or adjusted above.

Category	Current spend	Assumption	Modeled savings

3. What growth covers the remaining difference

Remaining difference

4. What the selected growth target may produce

Set the target and the margin

Growth target

Entered by you. Not projected by XpoNential.

Contribution margin on new revenue

70%

The portion of incremental revenue remaining after the incremental labor, lab, supply, and other costs required to produce it.

Illustrative annual operating-income improvement

Illustrative enterprise-value impact

Applies a 5x multiple to the modeled annual operating-income improvement only. This is an illustration of operating leverage, not a valuation of the business.

Want an indicative value range? Run the Practice Value Tool

The arithmetic is the easy part.

The calculator can show what the economics look like. It cannot tell you which operating gaps in your business can actually produce the result. That takes your numbers, your systems, and your current operating reality.

How this calculator works

This calculator is an illustrative planning tool. Savings rates are based on XpoNential client experience where indicated and working assumptions where outcomes vary more widely. Actual results depend on current spend, contracts, procedure mix, vendor terms, payment structures, staffing, implementation, and operating discipline. Growth is entered by the user and is not projected or guaranteed by XpoNential. The 5x multiple is used only to illustrate operating leverage and is not a valuation.

Credit-card savings depend on the payment structure adopted and card-network requirements.
