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
