MVR ROI Calculator
When a driver's provided information doesn't match their record, their Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) is rejected and must be run again. That means you pay the state access fee a second time. Estimate what those failed reports may cost you each year and explore potential savings scenarios with First Advantage.
For illustrative purposes only. Estimates generated by this calculator are based on user inputs, industry benchmark data, state fee information, and other assumptions. Actual costs, savings, and results may vary. No savings, ROI, or business outcome is guaranteed.
Every failed MVR costs you twice. Estimate the cost of failed MVR resubmissions.
Industry benchmarks show how common and preventable these issues are:
Even a small percentage of failed MVRs can add up quickly. Complete the fields below to estimate your current failure rate, the fees you're paying today, and what you could save.
How many MVRs do you run each year?
Include pre-employment checks and ongoing monitoring re-pulls.
What percentage of your MVRs fail and require resubmission?
We've pre-filled a conservative estimate. Adjust if you know your actual rate.
Where do you run MVRs?
We'll use each state's MVR access fee. Select all that apply. Not sure? Select National Average.
Do you currently use identity verification or data prefill?
This helps estimate how many of those failures could be avoided.
Your estimated annual cost of failed MVRs
Estimated results only. Calculations are based on user inputs, industry benchmarks, selected assumptions, and average fee data. Actual costs, savings, and outcomes will vary. No cost savings, ROI, reduction in failed MVRs, or other business results are guaranteed.
