Cost Calculator  — Introduction


You have arrived at the website where you can access the Chronic Diseases Cost Calculator to estimate the cases, costs, and health impacts of chronic diseases in California counties and the entire state.

This ongoing project uses estimates from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Chronic Disease Cost Calculator, the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), and a number of other sources (see the User Guide). We update the information periodically (last update: April 2024). Your comments are welcomed.

The Cost Calculator summarizes the healthcare costs and losses in health outcomes for each of seven chronic conditions.
