Quota Predictor
Every time you meet the quota in Lethal Company it goes up, and the moment it overtakes what a crew can realistically haul in comes sooner than most groups think.

How the numbers are worked out
A quota cycle is three days of runs and a deadline day. The calculator adds your average haul per run to the scrap you already have, compares it with the quota, and works out the overtime bonus for selling everything on the day you choose, using the formula from the game: one credit per five over the quota, plus 15 for each day before the deadline, and never less than nothing.
The formula
- projected = current scrap + runs left × average per day
- overtime = floor((sold − quota) ÷ 5) + 15 × days before deadline (day 0 counts as −1; never below 0)

Common mistakes
Each fulfilled quota raises the next one by a quadratically growing amount, so the target climbs faster with every cycle, and surplus does not carry over. Over-delivering only pays through the overtime bonus, which shrinks the longer you wait to sell, so sell early when the haul is already safe.
A worked example
On the first quota of 130, with 120 already on the ship, three runs left and an average of 150 a run, the crew is on course for 570. Sold on the deadline day that is 440 over quota: 88 credits of overtime minus the 15-credit late penalty, 73 in total. Had the crew reached the same total with two days still to go and sold then, the bonus would have been 88 plus 30.
Selling for a purchase
The wiki gives the reverse calculation for buying something big. To end up with 900 credits on the first quota by selling on the deadline day, you need to sell 785 worth of scrap: 655 over the quota gives 131, minus 15 for the late sale, an overtime bonus of 116 on top of the quota's own value.
