How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the Planned Value (PV) — the budgeted cost of work scheduled to date.
  2. Input the Actual Cost (AC) — what has actually been spent to date.
  3. Enter the Earned Value (EV) — the budgeted cost of work actually completed.
  4. Review the Schedule Variance, Cost Variance, SPI, and CPI.
  5. A CPI below 1.0 means you are spending more than planned; use EAC to project final cost.

What each input means

Budget at Completion (BAC)
Total project budget.
% Complete (Actual)
Actual percentage of work completed.
Actual Cost (AC)
Actual cost spent to date.
% Planned Complete
Percentage of work that should be complete per schedule.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Budget at Completion (BAC) = 500000, % Complete (Actual) = 40, Actual Cost (AC) = 220000, % Planned Complete = 45 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Cost Performance Index
    Cost Performance Index
    0.909 = 0.909
  3. Calculate Schedule Performance Index
    Schedule Performance Index
    0.889 = 0.889
  4. Calculate Earned Value
    Earned Value = ev
    200000 = $200,000
