Database Subscriptions Price Calculation
WISPALS calculates its electronic subscription prices according to all subscribing members’ full time equivalents (FTE). The group subscription price is divided by the total subscribing members’ FTE. Each subscribing member pays according to how many FTE their institution has.
For example:
If an electronic subscription’s price is $1000, and WISPALS subscribing member X has 2000 FTE and member Y has 6000 FTE, X pays $250 and Y pays $750.
X’s 2000 FTE + Y’s 6000 FTE = 8000 FTE Total
$1000 electronic subscription price / 8000 Total FTE = 0.125
0.125 x X’s 2000 FTE = $250
0.125 x Y’s 6000 FTE = $750
