Stress-test annual freight cost against fuel-price pressure, carbon pricing, and an achievable emissions reduction. Compare today’s operating and carbon costs with a transition scenario and see the combined budget change.
The main result is the annual increase or decrease in combined freight operating and carbon cost under the stress scenario.
This is a sensitivity test, not a forecast. It does not model demand response, fleet investment, taxes, inflation outside the entered increase, or contract renegotiation.
A $500,000 freight program with 950 t CO₂e costs $519,000 including carbon at $20/t. With an 8% operating increase, 25% lower emissions, and $100/t carbon, stress cost is $611,250—an increase of $92,250.
The combined view shows whether carbon pricing is material relative to the wider freight budget.
It reduces annual emissions before the stress carbon price is applied.
Yes, down to -100%, to model efficiency savings or lower freight rates.
It is the future carbon charge divided by total stress-scenario cost.
Only if your selected assumptions represent a worst case; the calculator does not assign probabilities.
