The Most Important Equations in Cost Management in PMP & in PMI-ACP Exams




Cost Variance (CV)
CV = EV – AC
EV = Earned Value
AC = Actual Cost
< 0    Over budget
= 0    On budget
> 0    Within budget



Schedule Variance (SV)
SV = EV – PV
EV = Earned Value
PV = Planned Value
< 0    Behind schedule
= 0    On schedule
> 0    Ahead of schedule
Cost Performance Index (CPI)
CPI = EV/AC
EV = Earned Value
AC = Actual Cost
< 1    Over budget
= 1    On budget
> 1    Under budget

sometimes the term ‘cumulative CPI’ would be shown, which actually is the CPI up to that moment






Schedule Performance Index (SPI)
SPI = EV/PV
EV = Earned Value
PV = Planned Value
< 1    behind schedule
= 1    on schedule
> 1    ahead of schedule
Estimate at Completion (EAC) if original is flawed
EAC = AC + New ETC
AC = Actual Cost
New
ETC = New Estimate to Completion
if the original estimate is based on wrong data/assumptions or circumstances have changed
Estimate at Completion (EAC) if BAC remains the same
EAC = AC + BAC – EV
AC = Actual Cost
BAC = Budget at completion
EV = Earned Value
the variance is caused by a one-time event and is not likely to happen again
Estimate at Completion (EAC) if CPI remains the same
EAC = BAC/CPI
BAC = Budget at completion
CPI = Cost performance index
if the CPI would remain the same till end of project, i.e. the original estimation is not accurate
Estimate at Completion (EAC) if substandard performance continues
EAC = AC + [(BAC -EV)/(CPI*SPI)]
AC = Actual Cost
BAC = Budget at completion
EV = Earned Value
CPI = Cost Performance Index
SPI = Schedule Performance Index
use when the question gives all the values (AC, BAC, EV, CPI and SPI), otherwise, this formula is not likely to be used
To-Complete Performance Index (TCPI)
TCPI = (BAC –EV)/
(BAC – AC)
BAC = Budget at completion
EV = Earned value
AC = Actual Cost
TCPI = Remaining Work
/Remaining Funds
BAC = Budget at completion
EV = Earned value
CPI = Cost performance index
< 1    Under budget
= 1    On budget
> 1    Over budget
Estimate to Completion 
ETC = EAC -AC
EAC = Estimate at Completion
AC = Actual Cost
Variance at Completion
VAC = BAC – EAC
BAC = Budget at completion
EAC = Estimate at Completion
< 0    Over budget
= 0    On budget
> 0    Under budget
PERT Estimation (3 Points Estimate)
(O + 4M + P)/6
O= Optimistic estimate
M= Most Likely estimate
P= Pessimistic estimate
Standard Deviation
(P – O)/6
O= Optimistic estimate
P= Pessimistic estimate
this is a rough estimate for the standard deviation
Float/Slack
LS – ES
LS = Late start
ES = Early start
LF – EF
LF = Late finish
EF = Early finish
= 0    On critical path
< 0    Behind schedule


Communication Channels
n (n-1)/2
n = number of members in the team
n should include the project manager

e.g. if the no. of team members increase from 4 to 5, the increase in communication channels:
5(5-1)/2 – 4(4-1)/2 = 4


One Point Estimate
(O + M + P)/3
O= Optimistic estimate
M= Most Likely estimate
P= Pessimistic estimate
