What Moves the Needle Most
How much each factor changes your Net Expected Value across its full range. Screening / Year has the biggest impact.
Focus your attention on Screening / Year — getting it right matters most. Factors lower down move the result less, so rough estimates there are fine.
Confidence & Assumptions
The outcome shifts meaningfully with your assumptions. Sensible, but revisit the key inputs.
Net Expected Value: €1,800 (worst) → €1,500 (expected) → €1,275 (best)
These are the estimates the result depends on. Adjust them (and the Advanced inputs) to match your real situation — the closer they are to reality, the more reliable your decision.

How This Calculator Works
What this calculator does
Turn screening spend and assumed risk reduction into an expected net benefit and ROI for budgeting.
How the calculation works
Total screening cost over the horizon is compared to late-treatment cost and early-treatment savings, each weighted by your risk-reduction percent.
Formula
Net = (LateCost + EarlySave) × RiskReduction% − Screening×Years ROI = Net ÷ Screening×Years
Example
€300/year screening for 10 years vs 15% of a €25,000 late cost plus early-path savings can show positive or negative ROI depending on inputs.

Factors to Consider
- Guidelines set real intervals
- Personal risk is clinical
- Insurance may already cover screenings
- Peace of mind is not in the formula
Common Mistakes
- Treating assumed risk % as fact
- Using this instead of clinician advice
- Double-counting benefits already covered by insurance
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this medical advice?+
No. Screening decisions belong with clinicians. This only monetizes the numbers you enter.
Where does risk reduction come from?+
It is your planning assumption — research or clinician estimates can inform it, but the tool does not diagnose risk.
