On Track — performance is 90% or above of target
Warning — performance is between 80% and 89% of target
At Risk — performance is below 80% of target
Weight % — importance of each metric within its perspective (total must = 100%)
Contribution — weighted points this metric adds to its perspective score
Overall Score = equal average of all 4 perspective scores (Kaplan & Norton standard)
How to Use This Calculator
Getting Started
- Fill in your organization name, reporting period and your name at the top before entering any figures.
- Use the Load Sample Data button to see a worked example before entering your own numbers.
Selecting Your Metrics
- Each perspective has two rows. Use the dropdown in each row to select the metric most relevant to your organization.
- Each perspective offers four industry-standard metrics to choose from. Select a different metric in each row to avoid duplication.
Entering Your Data
- For each metric, enter your Target (what you planned to achieve) and your Actual (what you actually delivered).
- Assign a Weight % to each metric within its perspective based on its strategic importance to your organization. Weights must add up to 100% within each section.
- Leave the Weight % blank if you prefer a straight average. The calculator will handle it automatically.
Reading the Results
- The performance status updates instantly. On Track means your performance is at 90% or above of your target, Warning means your performance is between 80% and 89% of your target indicating it needs attention, and At Risk means your performance has fallen below 80% of your target.
- The Variance column shows the percentage gap between your target and actual, colour coded so you can identify issues quickly.
- The Contribution column shows how many points each metric is adding to its perspective score based on its assigned weight.
- Each perspective scores out of 100. The Overall Score at the top is the equal average of all four perspectives, consistent with the Kaplan and Norton Balanced Scorecard framework.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
- A score of 90% or above indicates strong performance across that perspective. Scores are capped at 100% per perspective regardless of how far actuals exceed targets.
- Review this scorecard in line with your selected reporting period (quarterly, bi-annual or annual).
- Use the Clear All button to reset everything and start a fresh reporting period.
