Welcome to the i-Tree Stormwater Calculator!

Estimate long-term benefits from the impact of planting trees on both stormwater runoff quantity (volume) and quality (pollutants).

How to use it:

Select your location with a precipitation year and enter the following information:

  • Land use
  • Soil composition
  • Impervious cover (%)
  • Project years

Then, enter groups of trees with the following:

  • Tree species
  • Size of trees at planting
  • Condition of the trees
  • The number of trees in the group

The following estimates are calculated for each group of trees:

  • Cumulative, first, and last year reduction in stormwater runoff volume
  • Cumulative, first, and last year reduction in pollutant loading
  • Nutrient (P) content in cumulative, first, and last year leaf drop for the following species for select Midwestern locations only:
    • Callery Pear, Green Ash, Hackberry, Honey Locust, Littleleaf Linden, London Plane, Norway Maple, Red Maple, Silver Maple, Sugar Maple
