What is Avoided Cost ?

Avoided Cost represents the savings or benefits realized by avoiding certain expenditures or negative outcomes. Avoided cost refers to the financial savings or benefits resulting from proactive measures or decisions that prevent or reduce the occurrence of undesirable events or expenses. Avoided costs are typically calculated by estimating the expenses or losses that would have occurred in the absence of the action taken. The difference between the actual costs incurred after taking action and the estimated costs without taking action represents the avoided cost. In summary, avoided costs evaluate the positive financial impact of proactive measures or decisions that prevent or mitigate potential expenses or losses. Identifying and quantifying avoided costs can inform decision-making and resource allocation. It helps prioritize investments and initiatives and is an essential consideration in cost-benefit analysis, risk management, and strategic planning for businesses and organizations.
