Calculation method
Calculation method
EAC if remaining cost efficiency continues ($)
CPI=EV/AC; EAC=BAC/CPI.
EAC if remaining work follows original budget ($)
AC+(BAC−EV).
EAC using cost and schedule efficiency on remaining work ($)
AC+(BAC−EV)/(CPI×entered SPI).
EAC using custom remaining cost ($)
AC+custom remaining cost.
Budget minus each EAC scenario ($)
BAC−each EAC in the displayed scenario order.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Four explicit forecasting assumptions using your supplied baseline and remaining-cost estimate. These are alternative arithmetic scenarios, not guaranteed forecasts or a selection of the correct management assumption.
