Use the following formula to determine your CEI: (Beginning receivables + Monthly creditsales - Ending totalreceivables) ÷ (Beginning receivables + Monthly creditsales - Ending current receivables). Then multiply the answer by 100 to get a percentage.
Firstly, there are two main variables to consider: Ending totalreceivables: Your accounts receivable balance Totalcreditsales: The value of your outstanding invoices (usually given in dollars, pounds, euros, etc.) Cash sales should not be. And annually enables comparisons with other years.

DSO Formula (Ending TotalReceivables ÷ TotalCreditSales) x Number of Days What Is the ‘Best Possible’ DSO? The main difference between these two calculations is that best days sales outstanding does not take into consideration past due invoices. This generally manifests as monthly, quarterly or annually.
To calculate traditional DSO , take the total A/R balance sheet, divide it by your totalsales and multiply the quotient by the number of days in the period you want to measure. As a result, it is not an accurate metric of delinquency as it doesn’t take the due date or payment terms into account.
(DSO alone may account for receivables that don’t directly correlate with creditsales figures in the measured time period, reducing its accuracy when compared with shorter-term CEI calculations.)
