Quota progress calculator

See whether you will fill a quota by the deadline: current progress, average pace, the pace you need and the gap between them.

Quota progress — the share of the target volume already collected for a segment or for the whole sample.

How quota progress is calculated

Formula

Progress = collected / target × 100%. Needed pace = remaining / days until the deadline.

Current pace

How many valid responses come in on an average day.

Needed pace

How many you need every day to fill the quota on time.

Risk

If the needed pace is above the current one, add a channel or adjust the quota.

Calculation examples

1 Main sample

Target 300

Collected 184

4 days left

Progress is above 60%, but you need about 29 responses a day.

2 Hard age quota

Target 80

Collected 31

3 days left

You need to speed up: a separate invitation wave or a broader source.

What to avoid

Watching only the total The overall sample can be almost full while a rare quota lags far behind.
Ignoring base fatigue The pace often drops toward the end of fieldwork, especially after the first invitations.
Filling a quota without quality Responses collected in a hurry still have to pass cleaning and quality control.

Frequently asked questions

What if a quota is behind?

Add a channel, change the invitation schedule, raise the incentive or agree on an acceptable widening of the criteria.

Why do the last few percent of a quota fill slowly?

The easy respondents have already answered; what remains are rarer segments and less active people.

Can I change quotas during fieldwork?

Yes, if it is agreed and does not break the goals of the study. Document every change.

How do I track several quotas?

Calculate each quota separately and watch the progress of the whole sample as well.

Do I need a buffer above the quota?

Yes, if you expect to remove responses in cleaning. A 5–15% buffer above the minimum is common.
