#### Formulas Used
Total CEUs Required for Cycle: Total_Required = Annual_Hours_Per_Year × Renewal_Cycle_Years
CEUs Still Needed: Still_Needed = max(0, Total_Required − CEUs_Completed)
Percent Complete: Percent_Complete = min(100, (CEUs_Completed / Total_Required) × 100)
Required Monthly Pace: Monthly_Pace = Still_Needed / Months_Remaining
