Fill in your current quota and the scrap you have already gathered. The calculator works out the credit gap at today’s buy rate, how many days you need at your current pace, and the overtime bonus you bank if your haul clears the target. The numbers follow the community buy-rate model used by standalone quota calculators.
How the buy rate works
The terminal does not pay full price for scrap all week. The longer you wait before the deadline, the higher the rate the company offers:
| Days remaining | Buy rate |
|---|---|
| 3 or more | 30% |
| 2 | 53% |
| 1 | 77% |
| 0 (deadline day) | 100% |
So 100 credits of scrap with two days left is worth 53 credits if you sell today. The calculator applies the rate that matches the days you enter.
Overtime bonus
If the scrap you sell exceeds the quota, the company pays an overtime bonus of (total sold − current quota) ÷ 5. The calculator shows this when your collected value at full price clears the target. Sell at 100% on the deadline day to bank it.
What the outputs mean
- Effective sell value now — what your collected scrap is worth at the current buy rate.
- Credit gap — quota minus effective sell value. Positive means you are short.
- Days to close — the gap divided by your average daily collection. Compare it to days remaining.
- On track? — yes when days remaining is at least the days needed.
