How we calculate. Acceptance % = (accepted ÷ extended) × 100. The form uses the same arithmetic as the worked examples on this page. See our methodology and accuracy policy.
Real-world scenario: A typical Offer Acceptance Rate case uses offers accepted 27 and offers extended 36. Enter the same figures below to reproduce the worked path.
