Project Progress Calculator
Task-count progress estimates a completion percentage when each task is treated as equally weighted.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the values requested by the Project Progress and keep all units consistent.
- Check the formula and worked example before relying on the displayed result.
- Change one input at a time when comparing alternative scenarios.
Formula and method
Progress = completed tasks ÷ total tasks × 100%
- The calculator applies the stated relationship to the inputs entered by the visitor. Intermediate calculations use full numeric precision before display rounding.
- If tasks differ greatly in effort or value, use a weighted progress method instead.
Worked examples
Worked example: Project Progress
15 completed tasks out of 20
15 ÷ 20 × 100% = 75%, with 5 tasks remaining.
15 ÷ 20 × 100% = 75%, with 5 tasks remaining.
Understanding the result
Use the output as a calculation for the chosen assumptions, not as an explanation of why a real-world result occurred.
If tasks differ greatly in effort or value, use a weighted progress method instead.
Important notes
If tasks differ greatly in effort or value, use a weighted progress method instead.
Confirm the units, source measurements, rounding convention and context before using the result for a real project or decision.
