Formula Used

Contribution Percentage = (Individual Amount ÷ Reference Total) × 100

Share Decimal = Individual Amount ÷ Reference Total

Completion Percentage = (Sum of All Contributions ÷ Reference Total) × 100

Remaining / Gap = Reference Total − Sum of All Contributions

HHI Concentration = Sum of each contribution percentage squared

When you choose the entered sum as the total, all contribution percentages together equal 100%. When you choose a custom total, the combined percentage may be below or above 100%.

FAQs

1. What does contribution percentage mean?

It shows how much one amount contributes to a chosen total. The result is expressed as a percentage, making it easy to compare contributors, categories, or components.

2. When should I use a custom total?

Use a custom total when your entries should be compared against a target, budget, capacity, quota, or planned amount instead of the entered sum.

3. Why can the total percentage be below 100%?

That happens when the entered amounts do not fully use the reference total. The remaining portion appears as a gap or unallocated share.

4. Why can the total percentage exceed 100%?

It exceeds 100% when the sum of contributions is larger than the custom reference total. This signals over-allocation, over-budget conditions, or target overflow.

5. What is share decimal?

Share decimal is the same contribution in decimal form. For example, 25% equals 0.25. It is useful in formulas, spreadsheets, and weighted calculations.

6. What is the HHI concentration value?

HHI is a concentration measure. Higher values mean contributions are dominated by fewer contributors, while lower values indicate a more evenly distributed set of amounts.

7. Can I use decimals in amounts?

Yes. The calculator accepts decimal values, lets you choose display precision, and keeps the results consistent across the table, summary metrics, and chart.

8. What can I do with the export options?

You can download the current results as a CSV file for spreadsheet work or save the visible results section as a PDF for reporting and sharing.
