How the calculation works

Used percentage = hours used ÷ budgeted hours × 100. The budget must be positive. Over-budget percentages above 100% are shown rather than capped. Labour-hour consumption is distinct from elapsed calendar time and currency spend. Availability, dependencies, overhead and changes in scope must be assessed separately. Percentages use up to two decimals, with scientific notation for tiny nonzero results. The denominator must be positive. Results above 100% are displayed rather than capped. Entered decimal arithmetic is applied before display rounding. Numeric inputs/results and durations in seconds are bounded by magnitude 9,007,199,254,740,991.
