Payment attempt cost calculator

See what your current mix of debit and ACH collections really costs — and how much you could save by safely shifting more volume to ACH.

Volume and mix

How are you currently collecting your payments?

ACH success rate90%
Debit success rate95%

Why this matters: debit is inexpensive when it fails but costly once it succeeds. ACH works the opposite way — cheap on success, expensive on failure. The fewer ACH attempts that fail, the more volume you can safely shift to the cheaper rail.

Cost per attempt

These are example rates. Replace them with your own processor and interchange fees for debit, and your own bank and return fees for ACH, to see what your actual collections mix costs today.

Every ACH failure you avoid moves cost away from your most expensive outcome. Pave's ACH Risk Score scores each debit for return risk before it's sent, so you can safely raise your ACH mix without taking on more NSF risk.

Estimated Savings with Pave

Pave's ACH Risk Score typically cuts ACH return rates by more than half. That safety margin lets you shift more volume from debit to ACH, the rail that's cheapest when it works.
