Percent funded calculator

Percent funded is the figure reserve professionals and lenders ask for first: how much your association has saved against how much it should have by now. Enter what you own and what you hold.

What your association owns

The big things you will have to replace. Three or four is enough for a useful answer.

How this is worked out. For each component we take the share of its life already used — (useful life − years left) ÷ useful life — and apply it to today’s replacement cost. Added up, that is the fully funded balance. Percent funded is your balance divided by it.

What it does not tell you. The bands are an industry convention for gauging special-assessment risk, not a rule or a grade. And percent funded says nothing about timing: an association at 75% with a roof due next year can be in far more trouble than one at 40% whose next big project is a decade out.

Timing is what a 30-year forecast answers — when the fund actually runs out, and what dues would prevent it.
