Free Float given Indenpendent Float Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Free Float = Independent Float+Slack of an Event
FF₀ = IF₀+S
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Free Float - (Measured in Second) - Free Float is the period by which an activity can shift in its timing without affecting the early start of any succeeding activity or event.
Independent Float - (Measured in Second) - Independent Float is that portion of the total float within which an activity can be delayed to start without affecting the float of the preceding activities.
Slack of an Event - (Measured in Second) - Slack of an Event in a network is the difference between the latest event time and the earliest event time at its terminal point or node.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Independent Float: 12 Day --> 1036800 Second (Check conversion here)
Slack of an Event: 6 Day --> 518400 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

FF₀ = IF₀+S --> 1036800+518400

Evaluating ... ...

FF₀ = 1555200

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1555200 Second -->18 Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

18 Day <-- Free Float

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is Independent Float?

Independent Float is defined as the amount of time an activity's start time can be delayed without affecting the earliest start time of any successors. So independent float is the delay in any project tasks that have no bearing on the early finish date of the project.

What is Tail Event Slack?

The Tail Event Slack of an activity in a network is the slack at the tail (or starting point) of an activity. In other words, tail event slack of an activity in a network is the difference between the latest event time and the earliest event time at its tail (or starting point or node).

How to Calculate Free Float given Indenpendent Float?

Free Float given Indenpendent Float calculator uses Free Float = Independent Float+Slack of an Event to calculate the Free Float, The Free Float given Indenpendent Float formula is defined as the time available for an activity while considering dependencies, minus independent float, representing schedule flexibility. Free Float is denoted by FF₀ symbol.

How to calculate Free Float given Indenpendent Float using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Free Float given Indenpendent Float, enter Independent Float (IF₀) & Slack of an Event (S) and hit the calculate button.
