COVERAGE CALCULATION
Coverage Ratio Formula
PIPELINE COVERAGE CALCULATION
BASIC COVERAGE:
Coverage Ratio = Total Pipeline / Quota Target
Example: $3M pipeline / $1M quota = 3:1 coverage
REQUIRED COVERAGE BY WIN RATE:
Win Rate 20% → 5:1 coverage
Win Rate 25% → 4:1 coverage
Win Rate 33% → 3:1 coverage
Win Rate 50% → 2:1 coverage
YOUR CALCULATION:
Historical win rate: ____%
Required coverage: ___:1
Current pipeline: $_____
Target: $_____
