How each exception is estimated
The calculator never applies an outside leakage percentage. Negative differences are treated as zero, so the result estimates possible underbilling—not overbilling, credits, or collectability.
missing regular hours = max(approved regular hours − invoiced regular hours, 0) × contracted base bill rateregular rate difference = invoiced regular hours × max(contracted base rate − invoiced base rate, 0)overtime difference = max((approved OT hours × contracted rate × contracted multiplier) − (invoiced OT hours × invoiced rate × invoiced multiplier), 0)annualized estimate = this-cycle total × cycles per year
