Earned Value Management (EVM) Dashboard
Enter your project's BAC, PV, EV and AC to instantly calculate every key EVM metric — with colour-coded health indicators and forecast at completion.
Project Values
Enter amounts in any currency — the dashboard works with the ratios.
Total approved budget for the project.
📄 Where to find it: project charter, approved budget baseline, or signed contract value.
Budgeted cost of work scheduled to be done by today.
📄 Where to find it: project schedule baseline. Multiply % of work planned to date by BAC. Example: if 50% was planned, PV = 50% × BAC.
Budgeted cost of work actually completed to date.
📄 Where to find it: progress reports or team updates. Multiply % of work actually completed by BAC. Example: if 45% is done, EV = 45% × BAC.
Real cost incurred for work completed to date.
📄 Where to find it: accounting system, timesheets, invoices, or cost reports — all costs spent on the project so far.
Please fill in all four fields before calculating.

Forecasts
EAC — Estimate at Completion
BAC ÷ CPI — assumes current CPI continues for all remaining work
EAC (planned rate)
AC + (BAC − EV) — if future work proceeds at original planned rate
EAC (CPI × SPI)
AC + [(BAC − EV) ÷ (CPI × SPI)] — if both cost and schedule performance influence remaining work
ETC — Estimate to Complete
EAC − AC
VAC — Variance at Completion
BAC − EAC · Positive = under planned cost · Negative = over planned cost
TCPI (BAC)
(BAC − EV) ÷ (BAC − AC) — efficiency needed to finish within original budget
TCPI (EAC)
(BAC − EV) ÷ (EAC − AC) — efficiency needed to finish within revised EAC

EVM Formula Reference
A quick reference for every key EVM metric.
CPI · Cost Performance Index
EV ÷ AC
Measure of cost efficiency of budgeted resources. A CPI of 1.0 means the project is exactly on budget.
> 1.0 = Under planned cost · = 1.0 = On planned cost · < 1.0 = Over planned cost
SPI · Schedule Performance Index
EV ÷ PV
Measure of schedule efficiency. An SPI of 1.0 means the project is exactly on schedule.
> 1.0 = Ahead of schedule · = 1.0 = On schedule · < 1.0 = Behind schedule
CV · Cost Variance
EV − AC
Amount of budget deficit or surplus at a given point in time.
Positive = Under planned cost · Neutral = On planned cost · Negative = Over planned cost
SV · Schedule Variance
EV − PV
Measure of schedule performance expressed as the difference between earned value and planned value.
Positive = Ahead of schedule · Neutral = On schedule · Negative = Behind schedule
EAC · Estimate at Completion
BAC ÷ CPI
CPI expected to remain same for remainder
AC + (BAC − EV)
Future work at planned rate
AC + [(BAC−EV) ÷ (CPI × SPI)]
Both CPI and SPI influence remaining work
TCPI · To-Complete Performance Index
(BAC − EV) ÷ (BAC − AC)
Efficiency needed to complete within original BAC
(BAC − EV) ÷ (EAC − AC)
Efficiency needed to complete within revised EAC
> 1.0 = Harder to complete · = 1.0 = Same · < 1.0 = Easier to complete
VAC · Variance at Completion
BAC − EAC
Projection of the amount of budget deficit or surplus at project completion.
Positive = Under planned cost · Neutral = On planned cost · Negative = Over planned cost
ETC · Estimate to Complete
EAC − AC
Expected cost to finish all remaining project work, assuming work proceeds as planned.
Alternative: reestimate remaining work from the bottom up.
