The Sankey maps the three reported revenue streams into operating expenses and income. The title is an editorial description of complementary monetization mechanisms; interest on client funds is revenue to Paychex but is not a fee separately charged to each employer.
Labels and narrative explain the filing. A category marked “arithmetic bridge” or “residual” is calculated from reported totals, rather than a separately reported line.
