Early Payments Ratio

The Early Payments Ratio measures the amounts paid before payment was due and without discounts taken as a percentage of total payments.

Calculation

Early Payments Ratio
=
Early Payments   × 100 %
Payments

where:

  • Early Payments = Total amounts disbursed, in the reported period, before contractual payment terms expired and without taking early payment discounts
  • Payments = Total amounts disbursed in the reported period

Unit of measure: %

Importance

Early payment without receiving discounts for early payment is not desired from an Asset Efficiency perspective. Reducing early payment occurrences will free-up cash.

Notes

This metric specifically excludes early payments made reduced by the contractual early payment discount.
