Work out kpi achievement instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
KPI achievement is actual over target for metrics where higher is better, and target over actual where lower is better — inverting the ratio is essential for cost, defect and cycle-time measures. Multiplying by the weight gives the contribution to the overall scorecard.
Higher is better
Achievement % = Actual / Target x 100
Lower is better
Achievement % = Target / Actual x 100
Weighted contribution
Contribution = Achievement % x KPI weight %
Because otherwise beating a cost target would show as under-achievement. Inverting makes the direction of goodness consistent across the scorecard.
For incentive purposes yes, usually at 120-150%, so that one runaway metric cannot dominate the scorecard.
