ROI Worksheet
Carbon Close Effort Estimator
Use this worksheet to quantify effort and cycle-time savings from improved source controls and approval workflow in monthly carbon reporting.
Inputs
- Current reporting hours per close cycle.
- Current number of high-severity exceptions per cycle.
- Expected reduction in hours and exceptions.
- Hourly blended team cost and monthly program cost.
Formula
Labor savings / month = reduced_hours × blended_hourly_cost
Exception savings / month = reduced_exceptions × avg_exception_resolution_cost
Net value / month = labor savings + exception savings - monthly program cost
