Enter the total number of x-rays performed and the total cost of running the x-ray into the calculator to determine the cost per x-ray.

## Cost Per X-Ray Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the Cost Per X-Ray.

CPX = TRC / #XR

• Where CPX is the cost per x-ray
• TRC is the total running costs, including labor and machine costs
• #XR is the number of x-rays performed

## What is Cost Per X-Ray?

Definition:

A cost per x-ray is the total cost a center spends in labor, operational, machine, and overhead, per x-ray performed.

## How to Calculate Cost Per X-Ray?

Example Problem:

The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate Cost Per X-Ray.

First, determine the total running costs. In this example, the total running costs are $5,000.00 for the week. Next, determine the number of x-rays performed. For this problem, the number of x-rays over the week was 20. Finally, calculate the cost per x-ray using the formula above: CPX = TRC / #XR CPX =$5,000.00 / 20

CPX = \$250 / x-ray
