THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Counts required fields only, not correctness or client suitability. Partial-form distribution cannot be inferred from aggregate field counts.
Start with your inputs
Enter forms submitted by service, required fields per form by service, completed required fields by service. Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Forms submitted by service | 40,30 |
| Required fields per form by service | 5,8 |
| Completed required fields by service | 180,210 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, missing required fields by service is 20, 30. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Missing required fields by service | 20, 30 |
| Overall field completion (%) | 88.636364 |
How this is calculated
Missing required fields by service
Compare completed fields with required fields across all forms.
Overall field completion (%)
Divide completed required fields by total required field opportunities.
Symbols and units
- a
- Forms submitted by service
- b
- Required fields per form by service
- c
- Completed required fields by service
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions and limits
Counts required fields only, not correctness or client suitability. Partial-form distribution cannot be inferred from aggregate field counts.
Calculations use the values you enter. Blank or invalid inputs show an error instead of silently substituting zero. Results are displayed to useful precision; calculations retain the underlying numeric precision.
Questions about this tool
What does the result tell me?
Missing required fields by service; Overall field completion (%). The result applies to the method and inputs described above. Check the units and assumptions before using it in a decision.
Why might another calculator differ?
Differences in units, rounding, timing or model definitions can produce different answers. Compare the input definitions and the method, rather than only the final number. For this tool: Counts required fields only, not correctness or client suitability. Partial-form distribution cannot be inferred from aggregate field counts.
Are my inputs stored or sent to AI?
Calculations on this page happen in your browser. The separate AI question finder sends its submitted conversation to OpenAI; these calculator fields are not sent. Favourites and recent tool names are stored locally. A shared link contains the inputs you choose to include.
