# Merchant services residual calculator for the month

A merchant services residual calculator prices this month and the end of a projection from live accounts, residual per account, months, and a cancel percent. Knockdesk is field sales software. The boxes open on 30 accounts, $20 a month, 12 months, and 5 percent canceling each month. A residual commission spreadsheet is the same idea on a page you can edit. No email.

## Pay this month, then shrink the book

Pay this month is live accounts times residual per account. After that month is paid, accounts drop by the cancel percent, and the next month uses what is left. Pay at the end of the projection is the sum. The table under the boxes is that month-by-month run.

1. Type live accounts and residual per account per month.
2. Type months to project, up to 24, and the percent that cancel each month.
3. Read pay this month and the sum at the end.
4. Read the month-by-month table. The opening 30 accounts at $20 are an example.

## A projection is not a saved rate

This page will multiply whatever you type. On the desk, residual pays only when a saved rate already exists. Knockdesk does not invent one, and it does not sync a processor.

**This month.** Accounts times the residual you typed.

**Later months.** Fewer accounts after each cancel percent.

**Saved rate.** If you never saved a residual rate, the desk leaves the amount empty.

## Confirm from the rate you saved

Put the merchant vendor on the turf. Confirmation uses that rate, then the organization default. Full desk is on the pricing page. A free trial is not open.
