How this is calculated

Collections = production × collection rate.
Profit = collections − associate pay − lab − chair costs.
Overheads shared with the rest of the practice (rent, reception) are not deducted here.

What is a fair associate percentage?

30–40% of collections is typical, sometimes with lab deducted first. Higher percentages need higher production to work.
