Enter the total number of tasks and the average time required to complete each task into the calculator to determine the Project Time.

Project Time Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Project Time.

PT = (T * A) / E

Variables:

  • PT is the Project Time (days)
  • T is the total number of tasks to be completed
  • A is the average time required to complete each task (days)
  • E is the efficiency or the number of tasks that can be completed in a day

To calculate the Project Time, multiply the total number of tasks by the average time required to complete each task. Then divide the result by the efficiency, which is the number of tasks that can be completed in a day. The result will give you the estimated Project Time.

What is a Project Time?

A Project Time refers to the estimated duration or schedule within which a project is planned to be completed. It includes all the tasks, activities, and processes that need to be executed from the start to the end of the project. The project time is a crucial aspect of project management as it helps in planning, scheduling, and monitoring the progress of the project to ensure that it is completed within the stipulated timeframe.

How to Calculate Project Time?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Project Time using the given formula:


  1. First, determine the total number of tasks to be completed (T).
  2. Next, determine the average time required to complete each task (A) in days.
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = PT = (T * A) / E.
  4. Finally, calculate the Project Time (PT) in days.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge:

Total number of tasks (T) = 10

Average time required to complete each task (A) = 2 days

Efficiency (E) = 4 tasks completed in a day
