Vita Impact Carbon Calculator

Offsetting your carbon supports women and families in Eritrea and Ethiopia

"*" indicates required fields

Are you an Individual or a Business?*

Calculating a business's carbon offset can be very complicated and often requires expert advice. You can use the Irish Government's toolkit to get an accurate estimate of your footprint. Note – you will need to have a lot of details about your energy and waste usage to hand. However, many businesses are not yet in a position to do that. This calculator will give you a rough estimate of what your footprint might be and enable you to offset that.

The following examples may help to guide you as you choose the amount of carbon emissions you want to offset using our sliding scale below.

Business Examples

Small Business

One premises, less than 10 employees

15–38 tonnes per year

Medium Business

Large or multiple premises, less than 50 employees

30–150 tonnes per year

Large Business

Multiple large premises, fleet, etc. – 130+ employees

300–1,000 tonnes per year
