# Apply a ramp

A ramp reduces an individual's target during their ramp-up period — for example, the first few months after a new hire's start date — based on a ramp profile and the individual's coverage start date. A ramp layers on top of the target's schedule rather than replacing it.

## Before you begin

- Create a [target](/plan-and-pay/docs/create-a-top-down-target) and, if it's a timeseries target, optionally [apply a schedule](/plan-and-pay/docs/apply-a-schedule).
- Ramp profiles require an applicable territory coverage assignment.

## Apply a ramp

1. Go to the appropriate module (**Territories** | **Teams** | **Product**) > **Manage Targets**.
2. Click **Actions** > **Edit target details**.
3. In the **Adjustments** section, click **Add Adjustment**.
4. Select **Ramp Profile**.
5. Choose the ramp profile to apply.
6. Adjust the currency or percentage amount for each month, if needed — otherwise the profile's default percentages apply.
7. Click **Save**.

## About ramp profiles

Ramp profiles can be prorated based on the number of days an individual actually worked in a month, rather than treating every month as a full month. This keeps ramp timing accurate when someone starts or transfers mid-month.

> When a target has multiple assigned roles, the order the roles are added prioritizes that role's ramp profile for the target. See [Create a target](/plan-and-pay/docs/create-a-top-down-target).
