Project Inputs
Total approved project budget.
What % should be done by today per the schedule.
Optional — Full EVM Dashboard
How much of the project is actually done.
Total money spent to date.
Enter BAC and Planned % Complete, then click Calculate.
Budget for work scheduled to be done by now. PV = BAC × Planned %

Summary
Enter your project budget (BAC) and planned percent complete to get Planned Value instantly. Optionally add Earned Value inputs (actual % done and actual cost) for a full Earned Value Management dashboard: Schedule Variance, Cost Variance, SPI, CPI, and Estimate at Completion — each color-coded green/yellow/red.
How it works
- Enter Budget at Completion (BAC) — total approved project budget.
- Enter Planned % Complete — what fraction of the project should be done by today per the schedule.
- PV (Planned Value) = BAC × Planned % Complete is calculated instantly.
- Optionally enter Actual % Complete and Actual Cost (AC) to unlock the full EVM dashboard.
- SV, CV, SPI, CPI, and EAC are computed and displayed with green/yellow/red indicators.
Use cases
- Track whether a project is ahead or behind schedule at any checkpoint.
- Calculate cost efficiency of completed work versus dollars spent.
- Forecast the total cost at project completion using CPI-based EAC.
- Present a concise EVM status summary in stakeholder reports.
- Cross-check outputs from MS Project or Primavera with a quick manual calculation.
