Here’s the sequence of how the engine calculates accruals for growth-stepped tier type.
- Calculates the baseline by adding all inputs during the period starting on the Baseline Date From and ending on the Baseline Date Thru.
- Calculates the actual units sold by adding all inputs during the period starting on the Tier Date From and ending on the Tier Date Thru.
- Calculates growth multiple (actual units sold ÷ baseline).
- Applies stepped-tier logic by using growth multiple.
Here are the tiers defined for the program.
| Tier | Growth Multiple | Accrual Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0–1.5 | 100 |
| 2 | 1.5–1.75 | 200 |
| 3 | 1.75–2.0 | 300 |
| 4 | 2.0+ | 400 |
Baseline as in August is 155, and actual units sold in September: 310. Because the growth multiple is 2.0 (310 ÷ 155), the engine applies tier 4 for calculating accruals.
This example shows input and output for growth-stepped.
