Balances account for modelled payments and funds that reach their expiry. Future commitments are not deducted until their payment month.

Forecast assumptions
£18,000 received monthly · £9,500 existing learner payments monthly · new starts from November 2026. Each new learner uses an illustrative £12,000 programme funding value over 20 months: 80% in monthly instalments and 20% at completion, beyond this horizon.
How to read it
Opening fund vintages are fictional. Oldest funds are used first. Pre-August 2026 receipts keep their 24-month expiry; new receipts have 12 months and no 10% top-up. Actual DAS transactions, changes in starts and funding rules will change the result.

What could less chasing be worth?
Use your own figures to build a first-year case. Staff time is capacity—not an automatic cash saving.
How the calculation works—and where the data comes from
Annual hours freed = people × coordination hours per person per week × assumed reduction × working weeks. Capacity equivalent = hours freed × hourly employer cost. This is released staff capacity, not assumed headcount or payroll reduction.
Combined opportunity = equivalent staff capacity value + separately confirmed net training expenditure genuinely avoided. This combines different types of benefit for discussion; it is not a cash-flow forecast, formal return on investment, or proof of savings.
HMRC’s levy rate is 0.5% of NI-able payroll, less the employer’s allocated allowance. This tool does not reproduce monthly declarations or your account. Levy contributions and expiring funds are not savings.
The £24.59 hourly starting point uses ONS median full-time hourly earnings of £19.67 in April 2025 with an illustrative 25% employer-cost uplift. Use actual costs where possible. Staffing, reduction percentages and working weeks are assumptions—not empirical LevyTate performance. Record a baseline and compare it with a pilot before making an investment decision.
