Example data table

Scenario Quota Closed won Pipeline Win rate Days elapsed Coverage target Typical outcome
On-track quarter $250,000 $112,500 $540,000 28% 46 / 90 3.00x Stable pacing, manageable gap
At-risk quarter $300,000 $90,000 $420,000 22% 55 / 90 3.00x Coverage and pace lag behind
Ahead with strong coverage $200,000 $120,000 $600,000 35% 40 / 90 2.75x High confidence, more optionality
These examples illustrate how pace and coverage interact.

Formula used

  • Quota Attainment (%) = (Closed Won ÷ Quota) × 100
  • Remaining Quota = max(Quota − Closed Won, 0)
  • Time Elapsed (%) = (Days Elapsed ÷ Period Days) × 100
  • Pace Projection = (Closed Won ÷ Days Elapsed) × Period Days
  • Pace Attainment (%) = (Pace Projection ÷ Quota) × 100
  • Required Bookings / Day = Remaining Quota ÷ Days Remaining
  • Pipeline Needed (Win-Rate Based) = Remaining Quota ÷ Win Rate
  • Coverage Ratio (x) = Qualified Pipeline ÷ Remaining Quota
  • Pipeline to Target = max((Coverage Target × Remaining Quota) − Pipeline, 0)
  • Benchmark Index = weighted pace + coverage + win rate + forecast alignment
Win rate is used as a decimal in calculations (e.g., 28% = 0.28).

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter your period quota and closed won revenue to date.
  2. Add your qualified pipeline, excluding long-shot deals.
  3. Use a realistic stage-to-close win rate percentage.
  4. Set period days and days elapsed for accurate pacing.
  5. Review pace, coverage ratio, and pipeline-to-target gap.
  6. Export CSV or PDF to share in reviews and coaching.

Quota benchmarks by role

Benchmark quota against peers using the same segment, territory, and sales cycle. Many CRM teams track consistently median monthly quota attainment between 70% and 90% for steady performers, with top quartile above 105%. Compare your closed won pace to these bands, then adjust for seasonality, ramp months, and product launches. Use period days to normalize results across quarters, months, or custom sprints.

Pace versus time elapsed

Pace matters because quota is time bound. If 40% of period days have passed, a neutral pace expects roughly 40% attainment. The calculator projects end‑of‑period revenue from current daily run rate, highlighting whether you are ahead or behind the time curve. A 10% pace deficit early can often be recovered with higher pipeline velocity, but late deficits require larger deal sizes or accelerated close dates.

Pipeline coverage standards

Coverage is the most practical leading indicator. Many organizations target 3.0x to 4.0x qualified pipeline coverage for mid‑market, and 4.0x to 6.0x for enterprise, because long cycles add more slippage. The calculator converts your pipeline into expected revenue using win rate and compares it to remaining quota. If expected revenue is below the gap, prioritize net‑new opportunities, multi‑threading, and next‑step scheduling to reduce leakage.

Win rate sensitivity checks

Win rate assumptions drive every benchmark. Test sensitivity by changing win rate five points up and down and watching the expected revenue shift. For example, $500,000 pipeline at 25% yields $125,000 expected; at 30% it yields $150,000. If you need a 45% win rate to hit quota but your historical average is 28%, your plan is fragile. Improve qualification, stage criteria, and competitive positioning before forecasting aggressively.

Coaching actions from gaps

Use the gap outputs to plan weekly activity. Translate remaining quota into required expected revenue, then into required pipeline by dividing by win rate. Convert required pipeline into new meetings using your typical meeting‑to‑opportunity rate. Track two checkpoints: coverage ratio and pace attainment. When coverage is healthy but pace lags, focus on deal acceleration. When pace is fine but coverage is low, focus on top‑of‑funnel creation.

FAQs

What does quota benchmark mean here?

It compares your attainment, pace, and coverage against practical targets so you can spot gaps early and plan corrective pipeline or deal actions.

How should I choose a coverage target?

Start with 3.0x for shorter cycles and cleaner pipeline. Move toward 4.0x–6.0x when cycles are longer, deal sizes vary, or your win rate is volatile.

What is the pace projection used for?

It estimates end-of-period closed won by extending your current daily run rate across the full period. Use it to see whether you are ahead, on pace, or behind time.

How do I enter win rate?

Use a stage-to-close rate for the deals included in your qualified pipeline. If you only know a rolling average, choose the last 90–180 days and be consistent.

What counts as qualified pipeline?

Include deals with confirmed pain, authority, timeline, and next steps, at stages you historically convert. Exclude unworked leads and “hope” deals to avoid inflated coverage.

Can I use this for monthly and quarterly targets?

Yes. Set period days and days elapsed to match your cadence. The calculator normalizes pacing, so month, quarter, or custom sprint benchmarks remain comparable.
