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 per-

centage (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

DT = FSD + ((SP – FSD) x ID%)
