Pacing to Goal Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Pacing to Goal.
Variables:
- P is the pacing to goal percentage (variance from plan)
- AR is the actual result ($)
- PR is the planned result ($)
To calculate pacing to goal (%), subtract planned from actual, divide by the positive planned result, then multiply by 100. Zero means actual equals plan; negative means below plan. Use results from the same period.
| Actual Result ($) | Planned Result ($) | Pacing to Goal (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | 1,000 | -50.00 |
| 600 | 1,000 | -40.00 |
| 700 | 1,000 | -30.00 |
| 750 | 1,000 | -25.00 |
| 800 | 1,000 | -20.00 |
| 850 | 1,000 | -15.00 |
| 900 | 1,000 | -10.00 |

| Formula: Pacing to Goal (%) = ((Actual − Planned) / Planned) × 100. Values above assume Planned Result = $1,000. | ||
How to Calculate Pacing to Goal?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Pacing to Goal.
- First, determine the actual result ($).
- Next, determine the planned result ($).
- Next, gather the formula from above = P = ((AR – PR) / PR) × 100.
- Finally, calculate the Pacing to Goal.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
actual result ($) = 3000
planned result ($) = 2000
P = ((3000 – 2000) / 2000) × 100 = 50%. The actual result is 50% above plan.
