Rules for decreasing value types

This is the performance definition for expense/decreasing types. For expenses, a lower number is better. This is the scope for non-zero target:

  • If the actual equals the target, then the value is 100%.
  • If the actual is one full target value below target (actual = target - absolute value of target), then the performance value is 200%.
  • If the actual is one full target value above target (actual = target + absolute value of target), then the performance value is 0%.

With a non-zero target, the performance value calculation is:

Performance = 1 - ((Actual - Target) / |Target|)

With a target of zero, the calculation is:

Performance = 1 - Actual

For target of zero with decreasing type, scope is defined to be between 0 and 1.

Examples

If target is 50:

Actual % Performance
50 100%
100 0%
200 -200%
0 200%

If target is -50:

Actual % Performance
-50 100%
-100 200%
0 0%
50 -100%

If the target is zero:

Actual % Performance
0 100%
1 0%
-1 200%
-2 300%
2 -100%
