Digital Fee Calculator

Q: What principles must be followed by public companies when charging user fees?

Principle of equivalence : Performance and costs must be in reasonable proportion. Principle of cost recovery : The principle of cost recovery has two manifestations, the prohibition of cost overruns and the cost coverage requirement. This means that the estimated fee income may not exceed the expected costs of the institution as a whole, but should generally cover them.

The tool for public institutions

The manual execution of fee calculations with tools such as MS-Excel is time-consuming and expensive. In addition to the high consulting costs for the preparation of the calculation, the required broad database must be compiled manually by you and your employees on a regular basis and coordinated with your service provider. These work steps are time-consuming and tie up your personnel resources. The results of manual calculations are usually available to you only in the form of MS-Excel value copies and written statements. The further EDP-sided utilization of the work results, e.g. analyses over several years or long-term evaluations, cannot be realized or can only be realized at great expense. Particularly in times of digitization, a manual working method is no longer up-to-date. With the digital and platform-based Fee Calculator we prepare the calculations for you. The Fee Calculator is the first digital service tool for the preparation of fee calculations.
