#### Formula

Total CE Hours = Law Hours + Safety Hours + Business Hours + Technical Hours + Other Hours Hours Remaining = max(0, 8 − Total CE Hours) Mandatory Law Deficit = max(0, 2 − Law Hours Completed) Percent Complete = min(100, (Total CE Hours ÷ 8) × 100) Fully Compliant = (Total CE Hours ≥ 8) AND (Law Hours ≥ 2) Days Remaining = Renewal Date − Today's Date
