Definition

Percent funded is the ratio of an association’s actual reserves to the amount its reserve study says it should have, expressed as a percentage.

Why It Matters Financially

Percent funded is a key indicator of financial health that lenders, agencies, and buyers all watch. A low percent funded signals likely future borrowing and can affect both loan terms and unit values.

Example Use Case

An association at 30 percent funded faces a large project and turns to financing to cover the gap.
