Formula
Percent Complete = (Current Value / Goal Value) × 100
Example 1: Savings Goal
Saved: $7,500 | Goal: $10,000
Progress = ($7,500 / $10,000) × 100 = 75%
You're 75% of the way to your savings goal!
Example 2: Weight Loss
Lost: 12 lbs | Goal: 20 lbs
Progress = (12 / 20) × 100 = 60%
60% complete - 8 lbs to go!
Example 3: Sales Target
Sales: $45,000 | Quota: $50,000
Progress = ($45,000 / $50,000) × 100 = 90%
Almost there! Just $5,000 more!

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my current value is higher than my goal?
The calculator will show over 100% progress - congratulations, you exceeded your goal!
Can I track multiple goals?
Yes! Just calculate each goal separately. You might want to track your progress in a spreadsheet or notebook.
How often should I check my progress?
It depends on your goal. For savings, weekly or monthly works well. For fitness goals, daily or weekly tracking can help maintain motivation.
What if my goal is decreasing something (like weight or debt)?
Enter how much you've reduced as the current value, and your total reduction target as the goal. For example, if you want to lose 20 lbs and have lost 12 lbs, enter 12 current and 20 goal.
Can I use this for time-based goals?
Absolutely! Enter days/hours completed vs total days/hours needed, or use it to track percentage of time elapsed toward a deadline.
