Pacing to Goal Calculator

Formula

To calculate the pacing to goal:

\[ P = \frac{AR - PR}{PR} \]

Where:

$P$ is the Pacing to Goal (%)
$AR$ is the Actual Result (\$)
$PR$ is the Planned Result (\$)

What is Pacing to Goal?

Pacing to Goal is a metric used to determine how close you are to reaching a planned objective or target. It compares the actual result achieved to the planned result, providing a percentage that indicates progress towards the goal. A positive percentage indicates that the actual result is ahead of the planned result, while a negative percentage indicates that it is behind.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Actual Result ($AR$) = \$1200
Planned Result ($PR$) = \$1000

Using the formula:

\[ P = \frac{1200 - 1000}{1000} \times 100 = 20\% \]

The Pacing to Goal is 20%.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Actual Result ($AR$) = \$800
Planned Result ($PR$) = \$1000

Using the formula:

\[ P = \frac{800 - 1000}{1000} \times 100 = -20\% \]

The Pacing to Goal is -20%.
