About Experian's eCommerce ROI calculator

Our address verification tool helps you reduce the number of faulty addresses coming into your database and avoid unnecessary costs. Our address verification ROI calculator uses information about your current data quality to highlight how you can save from implementing address verification.

Once you enter your data and press “Calculate”, the tool will estimate the likely annual cost of bad data. This estimate is based on expected address correction fees, additional labor costs, and the cost of replacing lost packages.

The calculator also highlights the expected return on investment (ROI) from spending on address validation. Because bad contact data generates expensive outcomes, you can expect a high ROI
