Energy Action online carbon tax calculator

The online Energy Action Carbon Adjustment Calculator can approximate the cost impact of the new scheme on the energy bills of Australian businesses.

The calculator enables businesses big and small to quickly understand how the scheme will influence them over a three-year period and what its impact will be on their most affected business cost – energy.

This free online calculator is available for all companies with the modelling allowing businesses to begin to more accurately predict cost changes derived from the carbon tax. The calculator prompts businesses to enter their gas and electricity consumption and length of billing period. Using this information (readily available on energy bills) and a set of listed assumptions, the calculator approximates a business’s likely carbon expense for 2013, 2014 and 2015 energy bills.
