Return pledged minus disbursed and disbursed/pledged.

When to use this tool

Use Aid Pledge Disbursement Gap when you need one transparent cross-border cost or timing component.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Overdisbursement produces a negative gap and share above one; currencies, pledge conditions, actual receipts, and program outcomes are not verified.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Review the complete transaction, contract, bank terms, and applicable accounting policies before acting on a partial calculation.
