Budget at completion and earned value

BAC sums the approved performance baseline, not a sales bid or invoice. Enter each baseline amount once, in one currency. EV is the budgeted value of completed work; PV is scheduled budget to date; AC is actual cost. Reserve and profit are not automatically baseline amounts.

CPI = EV / AC and SPI = EV / PV. Remaining budget is BAC minus EV. Forecast ETC using that remaining budget divided by CPI, divided by CPI × SPI, unchanged, or your entered estimate. EAC = AC + ETC. Zero denominators produce an unavailable index, not an infinite forecast.

• Check the selected mode, units and input values before using the result.
• Read the assumptions and rounding rules; compare the worked example with your intended calculation.
• A numerical result does not supply missing context or change the stated limitations.

Forecasts assume the selected performance pattern continues. They do not assess scope changes, risks, cash flow or completion dates. Schedule variance is measured in budget units, not days. Reconcile the baseline and earned progress with the project controls team.
