# Calculate Monthly Consumption Rate – AI Data Enrichment

## Calculate Monthly Consumption Rate

1. Download your usage history for the past 60–90 days from the [*Instance Stats*](/reveal/docs/instance-stats) dashboard.
2. Identify the reporting dates.
3. Record the consumption reported on the first day of the month.
4. Subtract this value from the consumption reported on the last day of the same month. The result is your**estimated monthly consumption rate**.

> [!WARNING]
> **Important**
> 
> Due to contractual differences, statistics may be delayed by 24–48 hours and differ from final invoices.

## Calculate Potential Overages

To monitor or estimate potential overages, compare your actual monthly consumption rate against your contracted monthly consumption allowance. Any usage beyond your contracted allowance for translation and/or transcription services will be invoiced as overages at the rate defined in your subscription.

If you are unsure of your contracted consumption or applicable translation/transcription overage rates, review your contract or contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) for assistance.

## Example Calculations

> [!CAUTION]
> ***Disclaimer***
> 
> *The following calculations are provided for illustrative purposes only. They are not representative of any specific contracted subscription terms, rates, or allowances. For subscription-specific details, refer to the applicable contract or reach out to your Customer Success Manager.*

### Translation Service

Example Figures

- **Contracted monthly translation consumption**: 1,000,000 characters
- **Consumption on June** **1**: 4,500,000 characters
- **Consumption on June** **30**: 5,750,000 characters
- **Translation overage rate**: $X per million characters

| Value | Example Calculation |
| --- | --- |
| **Monthly Consumption Rate** | MCR = [Consumption on last day of the month] – [Consumption on first day of the month] MCR = 5,750,000 – 4,500,000 MCR = 1,250,000 characters |
| **Overage** | O = [Monthly consumption rate] – [Contracted monthly translation consumption] O = 1,250,000 – 1,000,000 O = 250,000 characters |
| **Estimated Overage Cost** | EOC = ( [Overage] ÷ [Contracted monthly translation consumption] ) × [Translation overage rate] EOC = (250,000 ÷ 1,000,000) × $X EOC = 0.25 × $X |

### Transcription Service

Example Figures

- **Contracted monthly transcription consumption**: 100 hours
- **Actual monthly usage**: 115 hours
- **Transcription overage rate**:****$Y per hour

| Value | Example Calculation |
| --- | --- |
| **Overage** | O = [Actual monthly usage] – [Contracted monthly transcription consumption] O = 115 – 100 O = 15 hours |
| **Estimated Overage Cost** | EOC = [Overage] × [Transcription overage rate] EOC = 15 × $Y |
