EVM Calculator

Earned value management: CV, SV, CPI, SPI from PV, EV, AC. Optional EAC and VAC when BAC is provided.

Use the EVM Calculator

Enter Planned Value (PV), Earned Value (EV), and Actual Cost (AC). Optionally add BAC for EAC and VAC.

Project EVM inputs

Planned Value (PV), Earned Value (EV), Actual Cost (AC). Optional: BAC.

CV = EV − AC; SV = EV − PV; CPI = EV ÷ AC; SPI = EV ÷ PV. EAC = BAC ÷ CPI (if BAC given); VAC = BAC − EAC.

What EVM means

Earned value management compares planned vs actual cost and schedule. CV and SV show variances; CPI and SPI show performance indices. Use them to spot overruns early.

How to interpret

Negative CV = over budget; negative SV = behind schedule. CPI and SPI below 1 need attention. EAC and VAC (when BAC is set) show projected total cost and variance at completion.

FAQs

What are PV, EV, and AC?
Planned Value (PV) is the budgeted cost of work scheduled. Earned Value (EV) is the budgeted cost of work performed. Actual Cost (AC) is what you actually spent.
What is CPI?
Cost Performance Index = EV ÷ AC. Above 1 means under budget; below 1 means over budget.
What is SPI?
Schedule Performance Index = EV ÷ PV. Above 1 means ahead of schedule; below 1 means behind.
What is EAC?
Estimate at Completion. Simple form: EAC = BAC ÷ CPI. It’s the projected total cost at completion based on current cost performance.
