Everything the free check hands you

  • Five statement checks, computed: from lines you review after upload or enter manually
  • Transparent comparisons: the merchant working band and every screening parameter labelled as judgment
  • Your margin-check profile: what looks in range, what is worth checking, and what still needs evidence
  • Indicative dollars where calculable: computed from your figures, not treated as confirmed savings
  • The fastest calls to make: up to three practical places to start
  • A write-up for your office manager: plain language, ready to act on

Why free? The check runs on the same engine that powers the Full Margin Audit. If you ever want the numbers read by hand, you'll know where to find us.

Paul-Matthieu ran his own marketing agency for three years, reading P&Ls, chasing cost leaks and defending margins, before joining Raiffeisen Bank International's corporate & investment bank in Vienna, where he worked on large corporate financing mandates. Now completing a Master's in Management and Finance at emlyon, he built Marginr so independent dental groups can read their numbers the way a bank would. Source figures come first; every working comparison is labelled, and the paid audit is read by hand.

The five checks

The list is not a secret.

The partition rules, formulas, and evidence limits are public. Each recurring line enters one check only, and every judgment parameter is labelled.

Recurring charge inventory

Recognised discretionary services that may justify consolidation, cancellation, or a pricing conversation.

Charges nobody can name

Recurring statement lines the owner cannot yet identify, separated for follow-up rather than assumed removable.

Merchant processing

Fees divided by stated gross processed sales, with a clearly labelled fallback when only deposits are available.

Duplicate vendor accounts

Overlapping services or accounts count only after the owner confirms that the pair is genuinely duplicated.

Finance and lease outflow

Recurring loan and lease payments surfaced for a payoff, rate, and term review—not treated as cancellable spend.

Straight answers to common dental margin questions.

The useful answer starts with a consistent definition, your own records and an honest evidence limit.

How can I improve my dental group margins?

Compare each location on the same definitions, check group-level shared costs, then review merchant fees, labs, supplies, recurring charges, collections and aged receivables. Verify each promising gap against the source document before changing suppliers, adding revenue or touching headcount.

How do I calculate dental practice margin?

Use one period and one scope. Divide operating costs by collections to calculate overhead; the remaining share is operating margin under that definition. State clearly whether owner pay, debt, tax and one-time costs are included before comparing the figure.

How can a dental practice keep more of its collections?

First separate adjusted production from cash collected. Then inspect write-offs, timing, payer and patient balances, and the age of receivables using the relevant practice-management reports. Marginr treats this as a document-led check rather than inventing a savings number.

Can I calculate my dental margins for free?

Yes. Marginr's free check screens five owner-actionable areas in about 10 minutes. You can upload business-only PDF or CSV statements, or enter recurring lines manually, without an account or practice identity. Do not submit patient data.
