Insulation Calculator
Calculate your insulation cost and potential energy savings. Estimate insulation expenses based on area, R-value, insulation type, and energy prices.
Step 1: Insulation Details
Understanding R-Value
R-value measures thermal resistance – higher values mean better insulation performance. Recommended R-values vary by climate zone and building type.
Step 2: Cost & Energy Details
About Energy Savings
Proper insulation can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 40%. The exact savings depend on climate, existing insulation, and insulation quality.

Energy Savings Breakdown
Insulation Savings Formula
Annual Savings = (Area × Climate Factor × Energy Cost) / Existing R-value
Insulation savings are calculated based on the area to be insulated, local climate conditions, current energy costs, and the improvement in R-value. Higher R-values and colder climates typically yield greater savings.
