How it is calculated
- Annual goal = daily goal × days in the year (365, or 366 in a leap year).
- Required average = steps left ÷ days remaining in the year. Days remaining include today, unless you choose to start tomorrow.
- Ahead or behind = steps done − daily goal × days elapsed since January 1.
