What is Percent to Goal?

Percent to goal is a measurement that shows what percentage of your target objective you have already achieved. It's a simple but powerful way to track progress and stay motivated while working towards any measurable goal.

The Formula

Percentage = (Progress ÷ Goal) × 100%

  • Progress: Current amount achieved towards your goal
  • Goal: Total target amount you want to achieve
