Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.

Resource Utilization Calculator

Calculate resource utilization as the percentage of available hours actually allocated to project work. Use it to identify under- or over-utilization of staff, balance workloads, and optimize team capacity planning.

Project Management

Earned Value Calculator

Calculate the Cost Variance (CV) for a project as Earned Value minus Actual Cost, where Earned Value = Budget At Completion × Percent Complete. Use it to determine whether you are over or under budget for the work completed to date — a more meaningful metric than simple actual-vs-planned spend.

Budget at Completion ($)

Percent Complete (%)

Actual Cost ($)
