How it works

  1. Enter your calendar-year compensation target, guaranteed base, annual bonus threshold, and dollars per additional wRVU.
  2. Import your actual monthly totals and enter the working weeks remaining in the year.
  3. Review the remaining wRVUs and weekly pace. Revisit the assumptions as your schedule changes.

An illustrative $300,000 target

With a $230,000 guaranteed base, a 5,200-wRVU threshold, and $50 per wRVU above threshold: 5,200 + ($300,000 - $230,000) / $50 = 6,600 wRVUs. If you have reported 1,100 and have 10 working weeks left, the remaining pace is 550 wRVUs per week. These are examples, not compensation benchmarks.

What to know before you start

This model assumes a guaranteed base and one fixed bonus rate. It excludes taxes, benefits, other incentives, collections, tiered rates, and contract-specific reconciliation. Use the full calculator for more detailed scenarios.

Common questions

What if my target is below my guaranteed base?

The model requires no bonus wRVUs to meet that target. Your contract may still contain productivity requirements.

What if my contract has tiered bonus rates?

Use the full calculator and verify the contract terms. This goal planner uses a single fixed rate.
