The variance formula is used to calculate the difference between a forecast and the actual result. The variance can be expressed as a percentage or as an integer (dollar value or the number of units).
How do you calculate forecast variance percentage?
The variance percentage calculation is the difference between two numbers, divided by the first number, then multiplied by 100.
What is the difference between forecast and actuals?
ACTUAL: It is the actual data or amount gathered. FORECAST: It is the forecasted data or amount. Here, we are simply subtracting forecast from actual, since we expect the actual to be larger than forecast.
