1. In your range table, add a column named BottomOfNextTier that calculates accelerators.
    
    You can also build a new range table specifically for this purpose.
    
    ![Accelerator table for new custom metric](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sales-sales_performance_management-264-0-0-production-enus/b1f2feb4-26b8-444f-97f7-be2349869d93/sales_performance_management/images/spiff/spiff_statement_design_arr_custom_metric.png)
2. Create a worksheet calculation named ARRToNextTier and add this formula, where `AttainmentPercent` is a worksheet calculation for the sum total or aggregation of all ARR or QuotaAmount.
    
    ```
    (tier_payout(AttainmentPercent, YourTableName, false, "BottomOfNextTier") - AttainmentPercent) * QuotaAmount
    ```
3. To avoid an error when the rep has maxed out their tiers, wrap part of the formula with an `if` function that returns `0` instead of a negative ARR value.
4. In the rep's statement, add the new custom metric.
