Accessibility ROI Calculator

Accessibility ROI compares a defined investment with measurable or modeled benefits. Useful inputs can include reduced support effort, improved task completion, avoided rework, a revenue-opportunity scenario, and program maintenance. Results should be presented as scenarios until your organization replaces defaults with its own evidence.

Costs vary widely by claim, jurisdiction, defense strategy, remediation scope, and settlement terms. The calculator uses $75,000 only as an editable starting scenario and does not label it an average. Replace it with an internally reviewed amount before using the result in a business case.

The model combines an incident-cost scenario, a revenue-opportunity scenario, one-time remediation, and annual maintenance. The ROI formula is ((modeled annual benefit - remediation cost) / remediation cost) x 100. Audience share, recovery rate, incident cost, and maintenance rate are editable and included in shared links.

Filing patterns depend on the source and scope. UsableNet's July 2026 midyear research reported that e-commerce represented 79% of the digital accessibility lawsuits it tracked. The calculator uses industry coefficients only as editable scenario defaults, not as organization-specific probabilities.
