PROJECT CONTROLS · EARNED VALUE
Earned value calculator
Enter BAC, planned progress, budget-weighted earned progress and actual cost. The calculator derives PV and EV, returns the main EVM indicators with every formula visible, and explains what the result means.
Standard
PMBOK / AACE earned value definitions · currency-agnostic · no project data stored
Inputs at the reporting date
Use consistent units. Cost fields must all be the same currency; percentages are entered as whole numbers.
Earned progress is not automatically the same as physical % complete. Use the budget-weighted value of work actually earned under the project’s approved progress-measurement method.
Total approved budget for the scope being measured.
Use the budget-weighted percentage of work actually earned at the reporting date, not an unweighted physical-progress estimate.
Cost actually incurred for the work performed to date.
Result
Indices below 1.00 mean the project is behind on that dimension.
—
Schedule boundary: the duration indication uses planned duration ÷ SPI as a simple screening approximation. It is not a contractual completion forecast and does not replace CPM / Primavera / MS Project schedule analysis.
SENSITIVITY
What the final cost becomes at different performance levels
Forecast outturn if the cost performance index holds at each value for the remaining work.
BOUNDARIES
Earned value depends on a controlled baseline, current cost posting and a defensible earned-progress measurement method. A favourable CPI produced by under-claimed progress or unposted invoices is a measurement problem, not a saving. This calculator is a screening tool, not a substitute for a contract-specific cost report.
