You can calculate the cost to complete in two ways. You can calculate the cost to complete based on forecast transactions, or you calculate the cost to complete based on totals.

Based on forecast transactions

The forecast transactions specify the cost to complete. Total costs are calculated by adding the forecast transactions to the actual transactions:

  • Actual + cost to complete = total

Based on totals

You enter the total costs as a lump sum. The cost to complete is calculated by subtracting the actual from the total:

  • Total - actual = cost to complete.
