Project Completion
Check project completion against tasks done and budget spent.
About Project Completion
Task completion is the share of work finished, while the budget percentage shows how much of the money is already committed. Comparing work progress against spend, not just against time, exposes cost overruns before the finish line.
Formula
Project Completion
Completion = tasks done / total x 100; budget used = spent / budget x 100
- task
- A unit of deliverable work on the plan

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
- In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
- Figures are rounded for display to 1 decimal place, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
