CBA Builder

CBA Builder is a Microsoft Excel based cost benefit analysis tool designed for use in teaching and learning, and also in practical applications of CBA. On this page you will find download links to the CBA Builder Simple and Advanced cost benefit analysis tools, and in addition a combined instruction manual for use with both versions of the CBA Builder.

CBA Builder Simple

CBA Builder Simple allows users to construct a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) by entering a series of costs and benefits into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet template. Using CBA Builder Simple users can enter one-off costs and benefits, as well as costs and benefits occurring over multiple years. In addition users can calculate a horizon value for their CBA. The CBA Builder produces results and performs a discount rate sensitivity analysis automatically for the CBA. Each of the separate elements of the CBA Builder Simple are found on separate tabs within the Excel template, allowing the user easy navigation through the different elements of the CBA.
