Sometimes different subtasks have different percent completed. In example below percent completed for subtasks are 0%, 50%, and 100%. Percent completed for summary tasks are calculated automatically. In this example it equals 72%.



Percent completed for subtasks are defined in Tracking tab of Task information dialog box. Percent completed for summary tasks are read only. It is calculated based on algorithm implemented in Microsoft Project and other project management software. It takes into an account percent completed for all subtasks.
