We plant native trees to offset your emissions
Tree planting is essential to combat climate change and restore healthy ecosystems. When we plant trees, we measure how much carbon has been sequestered, but we also ensure that the trees we plant have multiple benefits for wildlife, communities and land restoration.
What you’ll need to calculate
- 5 to 10 minutes.
- A desktop or mobile device with internet connection.
- For the most accurate calculation, we recommend using your personal source data (e.g. electricity consumption, water usage); don’t worry, the calculator includes tooltips that will help you find these figures.
- That said, you should be able to answer most of the calculator questions without needing to access external documents.
- You can also choose to autofill specific fields with the Australian or state average for a faster calculation.

What to expect from our calculator
Our Australian Carbon Footprint Calculator is a free step-by-step tool that empowers you to make positive changes to reduce your carbon footprint and combat climate change.
Your carbon footprint is calculated retrospectively based on your lifestyle and resource consumption for a specific period. You can calculate your footprint for the past month, 3 months, or year.
Here’s what you can expect inside:
- You’ll be asked to choose which categories you would like to include in your calculation (travel, energy, water etc). The more categories you include, the more accurate your calculation will be.
- The calculator includes tooltips designed to guide you through your calculation.
- It’s also full of “Did You Know?” facts about carbon emissions to put your footprint (and Australia’s!) into perspective.
- At the end of your calculation, you’ll get an itemised footprint “receipt” with tailored insights to help you reduce your impact over time.
What’s next? Take action!
- Offset your footprint by donating to Carbon Positive Australia’s range of native restoration projects.
- For more than 20 years, our projects have restored degraded land across Australia and captured carbon. This means when you offset your footprint with us, you are restoring our native landscape and fighting climate change.
- Use your tailored insights to reduce your footprint and calculate again so you can track your progress.
- Together, we can build a Carbon Positive future.
