Sales Forecast Accuracy

Percentage

Compares the predicted sales against the actual sales to gauge the precision of sales forecasts, crucial for strategic planning.

Formula

(Total Actual Sales / Total Forecasted Sales) * 100

Example

If forecasted sales were $100,000 and actual sales were $95,000, accuracy is ($95,000 / $100,000) * 100 = 95%.
