How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the available time or target capacity for the period.
  2. Add the workload drivers such as meetings, tasks, habits, interruptions, or deadlines.
  3. Click calculate to review the score, status, risk, and recommendation.

What the result means

The result compares this week’s contribution with the target pace needed to keep the project on schedule.

Weekly Progress = This Week Hours / Total Project Hours × 100; Total Progress = (Completed + This Week) / Total Project Hours × 100

If weekly progress is below target, the calculator highlights the milestone gap and required recovery pace.

Example calculation

For a 120-hour project with 48 hours already completed and 14 hours planned this week, weekly progress is 11.7% and total progress becomes 51.7%.

Tips for better results

  • Compare weekly progress with milestone targets.
  • Increase scope clarity before adding more hours.
  • Recover delays with specific weekly pace targets.
