Quota Attainment

Quota Attainment is the percentage of quota a rep has achieved in a given period, calculated by dividing actual closed revenue by quota. It is used to calculate commissions, assess rep performance, and evaluate quota plan calibration. At the team level, the distribution of quota attainment — what percentage of reps are above 100%, between 50–100%, and below 50% — tells leadership whether the quota plan is well-calibrated or systematically over/under-set.

Formula
Actual Closed Revenue ÷ Quota × 100
Industry Benchmark
A healthy team has 50–65% of reps above 100% quota attainment in any given quarter. If less than 40% are hitting, investigate quota calibration and pipeline quality.
