RTI Obesity Cost Calculator™
Try out the new and improved RTI Obesity Cost Calculator™, developed by RTI International and supported by CDC Foundation and CDC. This free, public domain tool allows employers to accurately estimate the cost of obesity in their own employee and dependent population. In addition to calculating the direct health care cost impact of obesity and some indirect costs, a new feature enables the user to model cost savings from programs or interventions to reduce overweight and obesity. To use the cost calculator, certain data inputs are required and others are optional – defaults based on national data are provided whenever possible. However, employer-specific input (if the data are comprehensive and valid) will usually yield the best estimates. For technical assistance with the cost calculator or other inquiries, contact occhelp@rti.org.
