EVM, EAC, and budget-variance calculator
Calculate earned-value indicators and forecast cost.
Use this tool to
Interpret cost and schedule performance with stated conventions.
Prepare and use
Confirm that planned value, earned value, actual cost, and budget at completion use the same scope baseline and reporting period.

Tool inputs stay in this browser unless you explicitly save them on this device or generate an output. Do not enter information you are not authorised to handle.
Working sequence
- Set the purpose, evidence boundary, accountable owner, and review cadence.
- Complete the fields from current evidence and make assumptions explicit.
- Use the result to support a review conversation, not as an automatic decision.
- Record the resulting action, decision, or next review date with the appropriate owner.
Inputs and method
Complete the fields below with evidence suitable for review. The tool structures the work; professional judgement remains necessary.
- Planned value (PV)
- Earned value (EV)
- Actual cost (AC)
- Budget at completion (BAC)
- EAC method
Fictional learning scenario: Use the labelled fictional example in the online tool as a learning starter; replace it with authorised local evidence.
Review and decision prompt
What evidence explains the variance, and which corrective action is needed rather than merely reporting an index?
Next action:Investigate material variances with the control account owner and reforecast transparently.
Common failure mode
EVM is distorted when progress is claimed without objective earning rules or when baselines are changed without governance.
Outputs
Supported outputs are generated from the current validated browser state: csv, xlsx, docx, print. Generated files should be reviewed before sharing or relying on them.
