Compare Project Hours with the Fee and Scope You Agreed
When scope grows quietly, compare planned time, logged time, and the agreed fee before sending a change request.
Track project tasks, planned and actual hours or costs, and a user-supplied fee cap; display variance without prescribing a rate.
What changes the result: your own contract scope, planned hours, logged time, and fee unit.
Privacy: Calculations run in this browser tab. This tool has no input-upload, account, or AI endpoint. The site may send a page-view signal to Cloudflare; this tool does not add form entries to that signal. A draft is stored only if you choose “Save draft on this device”; that browser storage is not encrypted. Avoid identifiers or sensitive details, and delete saved drafts when finished.
Your entries
The starting rows below are fictional examples. Edit them, replace them with non-sensitive labels and values, or load the sample again. The result is not advice or a source verification.
Amount fields use the same units you enter; the app does not choose a currency. Dates are the ones you provide. Up to 100 rows per run.
Calculated output
What the calculation does
For each line, subtract the entered planned amount from the entered actual amount. The summary adds the plan and actual columns separately, then reports their difference. It does not label a charge valid or decide whether a change was authorized.
Question to keep open: Should a scope conversation start after one overrun or after a trend is clear across named work?
Boundary: This is a work log, not legal contract interpretation, tax advice, or a recommendation to invoice a client. Check the agreement and communicate with the client.
Copy includes the headline, aggregate metrics, and boundary—not the row-by-row input. The CSV contains entries you choose to download. Review it before sharing.
