Further Information About Discount Total Column
Mailings that qualify for Full Service Intelligent Mail Option will report the discount in the Discount Total column
of each line of the postage statement. The Full Service Intelligent Mail Option lines are for display and data
gathering purposes only.
When there is a Full Service discount but no other incentive discount, the Full Service discount is reported
directly in the Discount Total column.
When there is both a Full Service discount and an incentive discount, the Discount Total must include both
discounts so it must be calculated in an offline calculation with the resulting value reported in the Discount Total
column. The calculation is performed as follows:
The Subtotal Postage (SP) amount is not affected and is calculated in the usual way. The Discount Total (DT) is
calculated by, first, determining the Full Service discount (FSD) by multiplying the number of Full Service pieces
by the per-piece Full Service discount. Then you must calculate the Incentive Discount (ID) by subtracting the
Full Service discount (FSD) from the Subtotal Postage (SP) and multiplying the result by the Incentive Discount
percentage (ID%) expressed in decimal form, such as .02. Then add the Full Service discount (FSD) and the
Incentive Discount (ID) to get the Discount Total (DT).
This calculation can be expressed as an equation as follows:
DT = FSD + ID
or
DT = FSD + ((SP – FSD) x ID%)
