Cost Benefits Analysis Template For PPT And Google Slides

A cost-benefit analysis is only useful when the trade-offs are easy to see. If the cost sits in one place, the benefit in another, and the risks arrive later, the decision gets harder than it needs to be.

This set solves that by repetition rather than volume. One balance-scale slide opens it, weighing gains against outlays. The nine that follow all carry the same analytical factors, redrawn each time:

• Quantification — assigns monetary values to every project cost and benefit


• Time Value — applies discount rates to evaluate future financial impact


• Supports Decisions — aids judgement on project or investment viability


• Risk Analysis — evaluates uncertainties to manage potential financial risk

Three of the nine layouts run only the first three factors, which is useful when risk is handled elsewhere in your deck. The other six carry all four.

The shapes range from stacked ribbons and diamond stacks to a circular gauge, a numbered four-step flow converging on a coin, a fan of arrows, rounded pill columns, a folded-wallet illustration, and a chevron row. Purple, red, blue, and teal stay bound to the same factor throughout, so the coding holds if you use several.

That makes it a working set for capital expenditure approval, project prioritisation, an investment committee paper, or a procurement decision where the numbers need to be visible before the recommendation lands.

Six further slides carry icon libraries, shape-editing guidance and licence terms. Edit factor names, definitions, and colour blocks in PowerPoint or Google Slides, or adjust through SlideEgg's Edit option first.

When the comparison is between two named options rather than one project's totals, Cost vs Benefits takes it; when the answer is to spend less, Cost Reduction follows. Both sit alongside this in SlideEgg's Financial Presentation collection.
