How to calculate it

Why it matters
The company average is useless. The customer with 78 days is the one costing you money.
The Taxtful view
Rank customers by margin and by debtor days together. The bottom-right corner of that chart is who to reprice or drop.
Every Taxtful client sees this number on their Taxtful View each month, with the benchmark alongside. Benchmarks are drawn from our own client base and published sector data; ranges vary by trade and contract type.
