Schedule

Earned Schedule Calculator

Calculate Earned Schedule (ES) and the time-based Schedule Performance Index SPI(t) = ES / AT.

Calculator
SPI(t) = ES / AT
Enter values to compute.

Interpretation Guide

  • SPI(t) ≥ 1On or ahead of planned time.
  • 0.9 – 1.0Mild slip in time.
  • < 0.9Material time slip.

Example

ES = 18 weeks, AT = 20 weeks → SPI(t) = 0.90 (10% behind in time).

Real-world use cases

  • Late-phase forecasting where SPI ≈ 1 misleads
  • Long-duration construction programmes

Common mistakes

  • Confusing ES with EV — ES is measured in time units

Professional tips

  • Use SPI(t) instead of SPI for projects past 70% completion
