# Why are there two consumption figures to choose from in the financial task?

If you have completed both the MCS self-consumption calculation and the Easy PV consumption calculation in the project, both figures will appear as options when you open the [Financial task](https://help.easy-pv.co.uk/books/financial-task/page/using-the-financial-task "Using the financial task") in Easy PV.

The MCS method is calculated end of the [Performance task](https://help.easy-pv.co.uk/books/performance-and-consumption/page/performance-task "Performance task") for easy-pv.co.uk and the Easy PV method is calculated in the [Consumption task](https://help.easy-pv.co.uk/books/performance-and-consumption/page/getting-started-with-the-consumption-task "Consumption task"). Both are acceptable methods for calculating the self-consumption, you are free to choose either calculation.
