Billing Queries

How is my API calculated

Citron Hygiene works extremely hard to incorporate the ever-increasing costs that have negatively impacted the washroom and waste industry directly affecting the core cost base of providing a first-class service to our customers.

These costs include rapidly increasing fuel charges, environmental costs, single and multi-use plastic costs, as well as the energy price increases that are affecting all small and medium-sized business so negatively.

To ensure we continue to provide the same level of high quality service we apply an Annual Price Increase (API) as outlined in our standard Terms & Conditions.

Our Annual Price Increase is linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) that can be found on the Office for National Statistics website. The CPI is calculated by collecting data on a large “basket” of goods and services that represent typical purchases of a consumer and shows the speed at which prices of goods and services rise or fall. We calculate our Annual Price Increase (API) by taking the higher of:-

  • The rolling 12-month average CPI up to the month prior to the Annual Price Increase (API) date, or
  • The CPI of the month prior to the Annual Price Increase (API) date plus 3.5%.

Why do we add a % on top of the CPI?

Although the CPI is a great tool for measuring inflation it doesn’t consider other elements of costs that Citron as a business incur. These costs include recent changes to our Labour, Employment allowance thresholds and increases in National Minimum Wage. We have also felt the full force of the new reality of a more mobile and flexible driver workforce, which has driven wages and benefits higher to retain, maintain, train and recruit the best hygiene technicians across the UK. Citron have absorbed the majority of these increases to ensure we continue to maintain the best workforce to enable us to provide the high standard of servicing we pride ourselves on delivering.

BillingHistory

How is my invoice calculated?

Rental Services:

For monthly-based invoice periods (eg monthly, quarterly, annual)

qty x charge per week x 52 / 12 = monthly charge
monthly charge x months = period charge

eg:-

7 units x £3.80 per week x 52 / 12 = £115.27 per month (rounded to nearest whole pence)
£115.27 x 3 months = £345.81

Part calculations use the monthly charge/number of days in the month x actual rental days

For weekly-based invoice periods (eg 4 weekly, 445)

qty x charge per week = weekly charge

weekly charge x weeks = period charge

eg:-

7 units x £3.80 per week x 4 weeks = £106.40

Part calculations use the weekly charge / 7 x actual rental days

Usage Services:

qty x charge per unit = period charge
