## Formula

Achieved = Good events / Valid events; Gap = Achieved − SLO

- Achieved = Good events / Valid events; Gap = Achieved − SLO.
- Inputs used: Requests that met the objective, Valid requests measured, Service level objective.
- Edge handling: Requests that met the objective is required.; Requests that met the objective cannot be negative.; Requests that met the objective must be no more than 1000000000000.; Valid requests measured is required.; Valid requests measured cannot be negative..

## Inputs

- Requests that met the objective
- Valid requests measured
- Service level objective

## Worked example: 19,991,000 good out of 20,000,000 against a 99.9% objective

Compares your measured level with the objective you entered.
1. Start with Requests that met the objective: 19991000, Valid requests measured: 20000000, Service level objective: 99.9.
2. Apply the method: Achieved = Good events / Valid events; Gap = Achieved − SLO.
3. Compares your measured level with the objective you entered.

## Common questions

### Where does this formula come from?

Implementing SLOs — a service level objective is the share of good events among valid events (or of available time in the period); the error budget is the remainder that the objective permits. See the source link on this page.

### What kind of calculation is this?

The achieved share of good events, compared with the objective the user entered. Check the formula, example, and limitations on this page before using the result for a real professional & industry decision.

### What are its limits?

Arithmetic over the figures entered — it cannot tell whether the underlying monitoring, incident records or change records are complete. A mean over a short period, or over few events, is a weak description of behaviour. One ratio over a period; it does not show whether failures were concentrated in a short window.

### How do I use the SLO Compliance Calculator?

Enter the required values for Requests that met the objective, Valid requests measured, Service level objective. The calculator applies the formula on this page and shows the main result with any supporting breakdown so you can check the arithmetic.

### What formula does the SLO Compliance Calculator use?

Achieved = Good events / Valid events; Gap = Achieved − SLO The visible formula section above lists the calculation path and the edge cases the page handles, so the result can be checked without relying on the form alone. Check the formula, example, and limitations on this page before using the result for a real professional & industry decision.

### Can the SLO Compliance Calculator be used for exact decisions?

Use it as a calculation aid, not as a substitute for checking the underlying rule, contract, policy, or professional advice that applies to your situation. When a result depends on local rules, personal details, prices, or dates, enter those values yourself and confirm them before acting.

## Limitations and assumptions

- Inputs outside the supported range are rejected rather than forced into a result.
- The result depends on the values you enter for this slo compliance calculator; it does not supply missing rates, rules, prices, dates, or assumptions for you.
