You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Quota = $45,000
Actual = $100,398.38
Actual Above Quota = $100,398.38 – $45,000 = $55,398.38
% Above Quota = $55,398.38/$45,000 = 1.231075 * 100 = 123.11%
This makes sense because 100% above quota would be twice the quota, or $90,000. You sold more than $90,000.
