On the bench

Earned value, live Try it
CPI = EV ÷ AC CV = EV − AC SPI = EV ÷ PV SV = EV − PV
CPI · cost Awaiting input Enter a value above.
SPI · schedule Awaiting input Enter a value above.
CV · cost variance
SV · schedule variance

How to use it

  1. EV — budgeted cost of the work actually finished: % complete × total budget.
  2. AC — what that finished work really cost. PV — what you planned to have earned by today.
  3. Read each needle against the 1.00 mark. Right of it is favourable, left of it is not.
