Score-Starting a business measures the gap between an economy's performance and the regulatory best practice on the Starting a Business indicator components. It is calculated as the simple average of the scores for Procedures (number), Time (calendar days), Cost (% of income per capita), and Paid-in Minimum capital (% of income per capita). The scores for the following components are obtained as such: the score for Procedures (number) is calculated based on the average of scores for Procedures - Men (number) and Procedures - Women (number); the score for Time (calendar days) is calculated based on the average of scores for Time - Men (calendar days) and Time - Women (calendar days); and the score for Cost (% of income per capita) is calculated based on the average of scores for Cost - Men (% of income per capita) and Cost - Women (% of income per capita). The score ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst regulatory performance and 100 the best regulatory performance.
