Authorize.net reserve held $ is not settlement held-batch share
Divide reserve held $ by settled $ on one Authorize.net vault-park window. That quotient is AN reserve %.
Pair: Reserve-hold share on Payments. Batch twin: held-batch. NMI twin: reserve-hold.
What you type
Reserve held $ — Cash Authorize.net still parks in the rolling reserve for the vault-park window.
Settled $ — Settled volume dollars tied to that same Authorize.net vault-park window.
AN reserve % = reserve held ÷ settled × 100. Hot AN reserve % means the vault is eating float — chase the MID release calendar; never invent an AN reserve chip.
What not to do
Do not invent AN reserve %. Do not paste a settlement-hold-share or NMI reserve file into Authorize.net fields. Do not count batch rejects as reserve dollars. Do not mix MIDs when one merchant owns the vault pile.

- Is this NMI reserve-hold share?
- Different processor ledger. [NMI reserve-hold share](/manuals/nmi-reserve-hold-share) reads NMI reserve $. Here you only score Authorize.net reserve held $ ÷ settled $.
- What AN reserve % should I invent?
- None. Read reserve held $ and settled $ from the same Authorize.net vault-park window.
