It translates physical progress into financial terms using the original budget, not actual costs. EV answers the question: what is the budget value of what we have finished?<\/p>\n<h2>How EV Is Calculated<\/h2>\n<p>EV = % of project complete \u00d7 total budget. If 40% of the project work is done and the total budget is Rs 10 lakh, EV is Rs 4 lakh, regardless of how much was actually spent. Zoho Projects calculates this from task completion percentages and their associated budgets.<\/p>\n<h2>EV vs AC<\/h2>\n<p>Comparing EV to Actual Cost (AC) reveals cost efficiency. If EV is Rs 4 lakh but AC is Rs 5 lakh, the project is over budget for the work done.
