Oil Price Sensitivity Calculator
Estimate how changes in oil price affect your costs or revenue using volume exposure (barrels), price change, and optional pass-through rate.
Model how oil price changes affect your business. Enter your exposure in barrels for a given period, apply a price change, and optionally apply pass-through (how much you can transfer to customers via pricing).
Example: barrels consumed, purchased, or sold in that period.
Used for labeling (your math is still “per selected period”).
Used to convert % change into $ change.
0% = you absorb it; 100% = fully passed to customers (simplified).
Price change
Use negative values for a price drop (e.g., -5).
Note: net impact sign depends on your business model. For a buyer, price up is usually a cost increase. For a producer, price up may increase revenue. This tool shows raw $ impact from price movement × volume.
Price change applied: +$5.00/bbl (≈ +6.25%)
Gross impact (per month): +$50000.00
Pass-through (40%): +$20000.00
Net impact (per month): +$30000.00
Sensitivity per $1/bbl move (per month): $10000.00
This is a simplified linear model (volume × price change). It does not include hedges, basis, or nonlinear operational effects.
How to use this oil price sensitivity calculator
- Enter your oil exposure volume (barrels per month or per year).
- Enter the oil price change ($/barrel or %).
- Optionally set a pass-through rate (how much you can pass to customers).
- Review gross impact, net impact after pass-through, and sensitivity per $1 move.
Example
If exposure is 10,000 bbl/month and oil rises by $5/bbl with 40% pass-through:
- Gross impact = 10,000 × $5 = $50,000/month
- Passed through = 50,000 × 40% = $20,000
- Net impact = 50,000 − 20,000 = $30,000/month
- Sensitivity per $1 = 10,000 × $1 = $10,000/month
