JHingst you'll probably want a choice option for 100% as well. The JSON column formatting (advanced mode) is as follows:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "children": [
    {
      "elmType": "span",
      "txtContent": "@currentField",
      "style": {
        "padding-left": "2px",
        "white-space": "nowrap"
      }
    }
  ],
  "attributes": {
    "class": "sp-field-dataBars"
  },
  "style": {
    "padding": "0",
    "background-color": "#faf0dc",
	"width": "=if(@currentField == 100, '100%', (@currentField * 1) + '%')"
  }
}

Thank you very much for your help. It was 100% what I was looking for, but with your help I arrived at the formatting I was hoping for, and a penny or two dropped in my mind in the process 🙂

While perhaps not perfect, the final result looks like this:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "children": [
    {
      "elmType": "span",
      "txtContent": "@currentField",
      "style": {
        "padding-left": "2px",
        "white-space": "nowrap"
      }
    }
  ],
  "attributes": {
    "class": "sp-field-dataBars"
  },
  "style": {
    "padding": "0",
    "background-color": "#80c6ff",
    "width": {
      "operator": ":",
      "operands": [
        {
          "operator": "==",
          "operands": [
            "[$Progress_x0020_Status]",
            "Received"
          ]
        },

        {

            {
