FRAME 11.
PERCENT DEVIATION compares the amount by which the actual amount differed from the
planned amount. Suppose the actual amount spent was 2,000 while 0,000 had been
budgeted. The difference between actual and planned was -00. Comparing this -00 to
the planned amount of 0,000, we get a percent deviation of -2%. In other words, the actual
amount was 2% less than the planned amount. In terms of a formula, we have the following:
Percent deviation = actual amount - planned amount X 100
planned amount
= 392,000 - 400,000 X 100
400,000
= -8,000 X
100
400,000
Percent deviation a -2%
The percent deviation indicates how much the actual is above or below the planned amount in
terms of percent.
