Calculate payback period with our calculator

Would you like to know how quickly an investment in LED lighting pays for itself? With our free payback period calculator, you can determine exactly when your break-even point is reached in one minute. You enter a few details about your current situation – such as the number of fixtures, the type of lighting, and your electricity price – and the payback period calculator will immediately show you how much you save on energy, costs, and CO2.

What is payback period?

The payback period is the time in which the savings on your energy costs equal the original investment. The shorter this period, the faster you make money on the switch. According to the Netherlands Enterprise Agency Lighting is one of the fastest ways to save energy in commercial buildings.

How does the payback period calculator work?

Our payback period calculator takes into account your actual annual operating hours and local dark hours, so the outcome aligns with your own situation. In addition to the payback period, you will also see the cumulative savings over 5, 10, and 25 years, the annual cost savings, and the CO2 reduction. This gives you a complete and realistic picture of the return on investment for sustainable LED lighting for your site or business premises. Are you unsure between different scenarios? Simply adjust the input and directly compare the payback period with more or fewer fixtures, a different electricity price, or different operating hours.
