About OKR Progress Calculator

OKR progress is measured from the starting baseline to the target, not from zero, which is what makes a key result honest. Comparing progress with the proportion of the quarter elapsed converts a raw percentage into a pace judgment.

Formulas

Progress

Progress % = (Current - Starting) / (Target - Starting) x 100

Expected progress

Expected % = Weeks elapsed / 13 x 100

Worked example

With the default values below, OKR Progress Calculator returns Key result progress of 50.00%. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why measure from the baseline?

Because a key result that moves a metric from 1,200 to 4,000 has achieved nothing at 1,200. Measuring from zero would show 30% progress on day one.

What does 70% mean in OKR practice?

For deliberately ambitious objectives, 70% is considered success. Consistently hitting 100% suggests the targets are not stretching.
