Project profitability and estimate at completion calculator
Find out now, not at final account, whether your project will finish with the margin you priced, and what it will cost in total if current performance continues.
Expected profit at completion—
| Estimate at completion (EAC) | — |
|---|---|
| Cost to complete (ETC) | — |
| Variance from budget | — |
| Planned margin | — |
| Expected margin | — |
| Cost performance index (CPI) | — |
How are these figures calculated?
Earned value = cost budget × actual progress. It is what the work actually done should have cost.
Cost performance index = earned value ÷ actual cost. Below 1 means each unit of progress is costing more than planned.
Estimate at completion = cost budget ÷ cost performance index, assuming current performance continues to the end.
Expected profit = contract value − estimate at completion. This is the earned value method: an estimate, not a final result.
