Raw Processed Volume 

What is Raw Processed Volume in wxrks?

Raw Processed Volume (RPV) is volume generated from all of the workunits in all of your projects in your account.

Regardless of status, any files uploaded for translation onto wxrks will count towards your RPV.

Reference files, glossaries, and translation memories do not count towards your RPV.

What is a Work Unit?

A workunit is the combination of assets, workflow steps and a language pair.

So what does this mean in terms of RPV?

So a project with two assets, two workflow steps, and two language pairs will have 8 work units. This is what it would look like.

In the table above:

• Each work unit has 500 words.
• There are 8 work units in total:
  • 2 assets
  • 2 languages per asset
  • 2 steps (Translation and Review).

To calculate the total processed volume, multiply:
500 words × 8 work units = 4,000 words.

RPV Formula

Raw Processed Volume = Source Words * Workflow Steps * Language Pairs

Example:

• Source Words: 10,000
• Workflow Steps: 3 (translation, editing, proofreading)
• Language Pairs: 2 (English to Spanish, Spanish to English)

Calculation:

Total Raw Processed Volume = 10,000 * 3 * 2 = 60,000 words

Where can I monitor my RPV?

You can monitor your Raw Processed Volume at any moment in Account -> Usage.

What happens if I go over my RPV Limit?

If your usage exceeds the number of words included in your plan, you will be billed for the additional words at your plan’s overage rate.

How overages are calculated depends on your subscription type:

Monthly plans
Usage is measured per billing month. If you exceed your included monthly words, the extra volume will be billed at the end of that billing cycle.

Annual plans
Usage is accumulated across your full 12-month subscription term. If your total processed volume exceeds your included annual words, the additional volume will be billed when the limit is exceeded or at plan renewal, whichever occurs first.

Overage charges are calculated based on the number of additional words processed beyond your plan’s included volume and your applicable per-word overage rate.

For a detailed breakdown, see the example table below comparing monthly and annual overage scenarios.

Why do my cancelled or deleted projects also count towards my RPV?

We take into account that users statistically cancel or not go through with a significant amount of files uploaded onto wxrks when calculating RPV thresholds. We continuously review these thresholds based on statistical analysis of account usage in general.

What if I create non-editor related Work Units such as DTP or QA?

Non editor related work units do not count towards your RPV
