Production contracts hide their economics in the threshold and conversion factor. Enter your contract terms and three volume scenarios — see total comp, your effective $/wRVU, and exactly where the threshold starts paying.
Not sure? Ask for the group's median wRVUs for your specialty and site, or check MGMA/AMGA survey medians for your specialty.
Calculated estimates from fixed formulas — not AI-generated. See assumptions & limitations below.
Base + production model: comp = base + max(0, wRVUs − threshold) × conversion factor + quality bonus. Pure production: comp = wRVUs × CF + bonus. Greater-of: comp = max(base, wRVUs × CF) + bonus.
The implied threshold check: for base-plus contracts, divide base by CF. If the contract's threshold is well above base ÷ CF, the effective price of your work between those points is zero — a common and negotiable trap. This tool flags it automatically.
wRVU values change. CMS updates work RVU weights annually; a contract locked to a fixed CF can gain or lose value when weights shift (the 2021 E/M revaluation moved many specialties significantly). Check whether your contract uses current-year or frozen RVU schedules.
Not modeled: taxes (see our shift calculator for marginal-tax math), collections-based (vs wRVU-based) models, tiered conversion factors, draw reconciliation/clawback timing, and benefits (see the contract comparison).
