Approval Threshold Calibrator

Enter your company's size and a few operating details to get suggested dollar thresholds for single vs. dual approval, tiered by payment size.

Annual revenue

Use your most recent full fiscal year. Approximate is fine.

$

Typical vendor payment amount

Optional — your rough average invoice or disbursement size. Used to sanity-check the thresholds against your actual payment mix.

$

Size of your AP / finance approval team

People who could realistically serve as a second approver.

Risk tolerance

How much friction you're willing to trade for tighter control.

We operate in a regulated or high-compliance environment (financial services, healthcare, government contracting, or similar). Thresholds will be tightened automatically.
