Compa ratio is your percent to midpoint in the salary range. If you have 100% you are at midpoint. If you are over 100% you are over midpoint for salary. Typical is probably around 87%-106%. If you are over 100% your raises may be impacted because managers are more likely to lift others closer to midpoint so they have competitive wages.

90% is reasonable. Anything less than 85% is insulting. For example, if your performance is above average, 90 percent is good. If you get remarkable, it should be close to 95% or more. If you score less than 90% for remarkable, you may consider finding for a different career.
