PLAN WITH CLARITY

Your numbers. A clear answer.

Calculated on your device. Values are not saved or sent to a server.

RESULTS

Credit sales must be greater than zero.

Results are estimates based on your entries. Currency is a display choice, not an exchange-rate conversion. Rounding occurs for display.

How the calculation works

Bad debt percentage = write-offs ÷ net credit sales × 100.

A worked example

Write-offs of 1,500 against credit sales of 100,000 equal 1.5%.

Use the result carefully

This measures recorded write-offs. It does not determine an allowance for expected losses, tax deductibility or whether a debt should be written off.
