Important: This is an educational household footprint estimator, not a certified carbon audit, EPC, retrofit assessment or financial quotation. Home energy calculations use the energy consumption and tariff figures entered by the visitor. Lifestyle estimates are deliberately broad because the footprint of individual products, food and journeys varies significantly. Savings scenarios use simple percentage assumptions so that visitors can explore the relative effect of possible changes. They should not be treated as guaranteed savings.

Calculator maintenance: The default tariff values in this version are 26.11p/kWh electricity, 7.33p/kWh gas, 57.19p/day electricity standing charge and 29.04p/day gas standing charge. They can be edited by each visitor and can also be updated easily in the HTML when energy prices change.
