Insulation Payback Calculator

Use basic wall properties, local heating costs and a project quote to make an early insulation estimate.

Estimate wall-insulation payback

Annual wall heat loss before10,368 kWh
Annual wall heat loss after1,728 kWh
Estimated annual saving8,640 kWh · $1,037
Simple payback4.8 years

Important: this is a wall-conduction estimate only. It excludes windows, roofs, floors, air leakage, thermal bridges and cooling effects; use it for early planning, not a final building specification.

What this estimate includes

The calculation models conductive heat loss through one wall area before and after insulation. It converts the estimated kWh reduction into a cost saving using the energy price you enter.

Use this for early planning

A whole-building assessment should include the roof, floor, windows, ventilation and local building requirements. Ask a qualified professional to specify a retrofit.
