Understanding Score Calculations in Review Summary Information

Profit.co calculates scores for:

  • Overall Percentage
  • Goal Score
  • Competency Score
  • OKR Score
  • Reviewer Ratings (Manager, Self, Peer, Matrix Manager, etc.)

All formulas are standardized across performance reviews.

Overall Percentage

The Overall Percentage represents the final percentile value of the combined assessment scores.

How it is calculated

Profit.co takes the average of these three:

  • OKR Score
  • Goal Score
  • Competency Score

Then converts the combined value into a percentage, which becomes the Overall Percentage.

Goal Score

The Goal Score indicates the ratings you obtained for each of your goals.

1. Goal Score Without Weights

The Average of Given Ratings for the number of Goals is calculated as the Goal Score.

Example

Goal Name Given Ratings Max Rating Scale
Goal 1 5 5
Goal 2 4 5
Goal 1 3 5

2. Goal Score With Individual Weights

In the performance review, the goal's weight will be calculated as given in the scoring bucket. 

For Goals, Profit.co provides the option to choose the weights calculated based on individual goals.

Converted weights are calculated based on the weight distribution given to the overall Goals in performance reviews.

Formula

Individual Weights x Goal Bucket score / Goal individual weight

Example

Goal Name Given Rating Max Rating Scale Individual Weights in % Converted Weights in % Goals Score
Goal 1 5 5 30% 18% 0.90
Goal 2 4 5 20% 12% 0.48
Goal 3 3 5 0% 0% 0
Average 4 5 50% 30% 1.38

Goal Score = 1.38

3. Goal Score With Overall Weights

The Goal Score calculation with weightage will be based on the Average of Given Ratings X Goal Score weightage.

For Example, If the Goal weightage is 30%

Goal Name Given Ratings Max Rating Scale
Goal 1 5 5
Goal 2 4 5
Goal 1 3 5
Average 4 5

Calculation = Average 4 X 30%, Therefore, the Goal Score is 1.2.

Competency Score

1. Competency Score Without Weights

The Average of Given Ratings for the number of competencies is calculated for the Competency Score.

For Example,

Competency Name Given Ratings Max Rating Scale
C1 5 5
C2 4 5
C3 3 5
C4 2 5
Average 3.5 5

2. Competency Score Calculation with Individual Weights (100%)

In the performance review, the Competency scores will be calculated with the weights given in the scoring bucket. 

Converted weights are calculated based on the weight distribution given to the overall competencies in performance reviews.

For Example,

Competency Name Given Ratings Max Rating Scale Individual Weights in % Converted Weights in % Competency Score
C1 5 5 30% 9% 0.45
C2 4 5 20% 6% 0.24
C3 3 5 0% 0% 0
C4 2 5 50% 15% 0.30
Average 3.5 5 100% 30% 0.99

3. Competency Score With Overall Weights

The Competency Score calculation with weightage will be based on the Average of Given Ratings X Competency Score weightage.

For Example, If the Competency Score weightage is 30%.

Competency Name Given Ratings Max Rating Scale
C1 5 5
C2 4 5
C3 3 5
C4 2 5
Average 3.5 5

Calculation = Average 3.5 X 30%, Therefore, Competency Score is 1.05.

Competency Perfect Score:

The competency perfect score displays the ratings you obtained based on the assessments as quantitative variables.

OKR Score

The OKR Score indicates the ratings you obtained for each of your OKRs.

1. OKR Score Without Weights

The Average of Given Ratings for the number of OKRs is calculated for the OKR Score.

For Example,

OKR Name Given Ratings Max Rating Scale
OKR 1 5 5
OKR 2 4 5
OKR 3 3 5
OKR 4 2 5
Average 3.5 5

2. OKR Score With Individual Weights

In the performance review, the OKRs weight will be calculated as given in the scoring bucket. 

For OKRs, Profit.co provides the option to choose the weights calculated based on the individual OKR.

Converted weights are calculated based on the weight distribution given to the overall OKRs.

For Example,

OKR Name Given Ratings Max Rating Scale Individual Weights in % Converted Weights in % OKR Score
KR 1 5 5 12% 7% 0.34
KR 2 0 5 20% 11% 0
KR 3 0 0 0% 0% 0
KR 4 0 5 38% 22% 0
Average 1.25 5 70% 40% 0.34

OKR Score = 0.34

3. OKR Score With Overall Weights

The OKR score calculation with weightage will be based on the Average of Given Ratings X OKR weightage.

For Example, if the OKR weightage is 40%.

OKR Name Given Ratings Max Rating Scale
OKR 1 5 5
OKR 2 4 5
OKR 3 3 5
OKR 4 2 5
Average 3.5 5

Calculation = Average 3.5 X 40%, Therefore, OKRs Score is 1.4.
