16 hours a day at $50 dollars an hour times 6 days equals 4800 a week times 52 weeks equals 250,000 a year.   But if you take 16 hours times 6 days x 52 weeks equals 4992 hours which if you divide that by your 100 K = $20 per hour.  Not bad.  And if you make 250,000 but only have 100,000 after taxes why work that hard for less than 50% of the pay. 

Every 10 seconds of dictation is 15 lines.  If I make 100 minutes a day for radiology at 11/cpl, how much is that in 1 day?  Or is this equation incomplete?  ugh.

If you transcribe 2000 lpd you would earn $150 at 7.5 cpl/200 lph

$150 pd x 10 days in a pay period = $1500

$1500 x 2 paychecks a month = $3000 a month (most months have 21 or 22 work days in them)

Assuming you worked 8 hours a day for 20 days in a month, your hourly rate is $18.75 for every hour worked.

I get the impression this is clinic work not acute care.  It is harder to do 2000 lpd consistently on acute care, but not so with clinic after getting accustomed to the account.  I don't know anything about this company.  I'm just making an observation.

I make .075 cpl.  New ISR rate for me 0.46875 (less than 5 cpl).

11001 lines at my current rate = $1045.09

11001 lines at my new ISR rate = $735.69

Net LOSS per WEEK if my production doesn't change= $309.40

Provided of course, I can even GET that many lines to type.  I can't any more.  I have NSA as I type this.  There's not enough work NOW.  No matter how fast you get at ISR, if there's no work to type, you make NADA! 

roughly a difference of 15.5% - I say 'roughly' because I did the count on Word and have been told Word does not give an accurate count - but used same program for the whole document and figured several ways....

But it is not for me, I don't want to do 2000 lines a day, 250 lines an hour,  for 7.5/lines for $150. bucks.  Burn out.  Nobody should have to work like that to make a living not with the junk dictation.

but ya all go ahead..

in production.  

To break even in this picture, you would have to have a much greater increase in production. IF you currently do 2000 lines a day at 8 cpl, and your new "blended" rate pays 4.8 cpl, you would have to do 3,334 lines to break even, or at least a 67% increase in production.  Do you all really think you can do it? 

Augusta has a job advertised $1.25/thousand characters, 65 character line including headers and footers.  So, that's equal to a little over 8 cpl -- right?  I have never seen a company state pay in such a way. 

if you were not paid for spaces, what would 11 cpl (w/o) equal? It sounded good, but when I did the math it was lower than 8 cpl with spaces? I hope I'm not right.

Sorry I know people have asked this before but I couldnt remember answer.

MQ takes out SS taxes and federal taxes, but not state taxes.

Correct me if I am wrong about this.

Any word ending in a "y" does not get the - between it and the other word, as in weight-bearing, fruit-bearing. Sorry but I used 2 work 4 the Grammar Police back in 1903.
