Default Way beyond me: Calculate ROI of home energy improvements... while also taking into account increases in energy prices

Hi,

I want to make an ROI energy improvements calculator.

I've got this far:

-----------------------

Improvement Cost Saving per year
Cavity wall 750 150
Roof insulation 500 175

Total 1250 325

ROI: 3.8 years

-----------------------

So far, so embarrassinly simple.

However, I'd like to add a bit more...

-----------------------
Probable yearly energy price increase: 12%
Actual savings:
Actual ROI:
-----------------------

Any thoughts?



Many thanks,

Uberyes

Uberyes,

=NPER((4%-12%),325,-1250)

The 12% is the assumed increase in energy costs, and 4% is the assumed loss of income if you had
otherwise invested the funds...
