How to use Nonprofit Compensation Ratios and understand its results
- Prepare the text, recorded observations, aligned figures or editorial criteria requested. Confirm what each label, count, timestamp or supplied flag represents before interpreting the result.
- Enter totalExpenses, programServiceExpenses, executiveCompensation using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read programExpensePercent, executiveCompensationPercent, otherExpenseAmount. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |

| programServiceExpenses | Program-service expenses (currency) | number; minimum: 0 | Required |

}Limitations and assumptions
Real accounting categories may overlap; establish a disjoint basis first. No financial filings, compensation reasonableness or wrongdoing is assessed.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
