CCTV System Return on Investment Calculator

Since 1991, the University of Florida has conducted an annual National Retail Security Survey (NRSS), to anonymously gather retail loss and prevention metrics in various vertical retail markets for the previous year. This study has become a leading resource to gauge retail loss prevention and retail store security practices in the United States. In it's 15th and most recent publication - The 2006 National Retail Security Survey - 151 corporate retail chains representing 26 different vertical retail markets were surveyed.

In the calculator below, we have leveraged the statistics from this survey to provide an estimate to the question on every store owner's mind... "How Much Am I Losing?"

But please, enter a number that feels comfortable to you. To help you estimate this number, we have provided below a chart outlining the various sources of retail loss. These numbers are also taken directly from the 2006 NRSS.
