Carbon Footprint - Carbon Footprint Calculator

Welcome to the web's leading carbon footprint calculator.

First, please choose your country: why?

Next, select the appropriate tab above to calculate the part of your lifestyle you are most interested in, e.g. your flights.

Or, visit each of the tabs above to calculate your full carbon footprint.

Following your calculation, you can offset / neutralise your emissions through one of our climate-friendly projects.

Sources of our calculations

The calculations for the primary emissions are based on a combination of metrics from the UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the UK's Department for Transport, and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The calculations for the secondary emissions are based on estimates developed by Carbon Footprint to illustrate the impact on the environment from your day-to-day activities. Your actual secondary footprint may in reality be either lower or greater than that estimated here.

The total carbon footprint of an individual is the sum of their primary and secondary emissions.

The average carbon footprint per individual for each country is sourced from the EPA.

Total secondary footprint = 0.000 tonnes of CO2

The estimation is provided by Carbon Footprint Ltd to illustrate how the choices you make will indirectly impact the amount of carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere. This figure should be used for guidance only. A detailed calculation of your secondary / indirect emissions is beyond the scope of this online calculator.
