Earned Value Calculator

Calculate CPI, SPI, CV, and EAC for schedule/cost control.

Earned Value Calculator evaluates project performance using planned value, earned value, actual cost, and budget at completion. Planned Value (PV) is the budgeted value of work that should have been completed by a point in time, Earned Value (EV) is the budgeted value of work actually completed, and Actual Cost (AC) is what has actually been spent. Cost Variance (CV) compares EV with AC, Schedule Variance (SV) compares EV with PV, Cost Performance Index (CPI) measures cost efficiency, and Schedule Performance Index (SPI) measures schedule efficiency. Values below 1.0 for CPI or SPI usually indicate unfavorable performance. EVM is useful for structured project control, but it depends on honest progress measurement and a meaningful baseline.
