Welcome to the i-Tree Planting Calculator!

Easily estimate the long-term environmental benefits from a tree planting project in terms of carbon dioxide, air pollution, stormwater impacts, energy savings, and canopy cover.

How to use it:

Enter groups of trees with the following:

  • Tree species
  • Size of trees at planting
  • Condition of the trees
  • The number of trees in the group
  • Project lifetime years
Optionally, enter more values to fine tune your estimates:
  • Distance and direction to the nearest building
  • Estimated mortality of the trees over the project lifetime
  • Specific greenhouse gas values for your region

Tree benefit estimates are calculated in amounts and dollar values:

  • Carbon dioxide sequestered
  • Carbon dioxide avoided due to reduction in building energy use
  • Energy conserved
  • Air pollutants captured and avoided
  • Stormwater filtered
  • Tree total biomass
  • Canopy cover
