Estimate your annual carbon footprint based on car use, electricity consumption, flights, and diet.
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (mainly CO2) released into the atmosphere as a result of a person's everyday activities, including transportation, energy use, travel, and diet. This calculator provides a rough annual estimate based on car use, home electricity consumption, air travel, and dietary habits. The emission factors used (CO2 per km by vehicle type, a grid-average factor per kWh, a flat per-flight value, and an annual baseline per diet type) are general averages, and actual values vary by country, energy source, and flight distance. This tool is meant to build awareness rather than provide a precise measurement. The global average carbon footprint per person is roughly 4-5 tons of CO2 per year, and meeting Paris Agreement targets requires substantially reducing this figure.
Common questions about carbon footprint
This calculator provides a rough estimate based on general emission factors. Actual emissions vary depending on your electricity grid's energy mix, your vehicle's real fuel consumption, flight distance, and many other factors. Results are meant for awareness and comparison, not precise measurement.
