As previously discussed total cost summaries for the three [[Bioretention]] configurations vary greatly dependent on whether you want you feature to possess full infiltration, no infiltration, or partial infiltration. In short, the most expensive of these options is the [[Bioretention: Partial infiltration]] option ($113,800.83 vs. $109,113.76 - no infiltration and $80,392.33 - full infiltration).<br>
Total life cycle cost estimates for the three [[Bioretention]] configurations vary substantially with the [[Bioretention: Partial infiltration| Partial Infiltration]] design being highest ($113,800.83), followed by [[Stormwater Planter| No Infiltration]] design ($109,113.76), and [[Bioretention: Full infiltration| Full Infiltration design being the lowest ($80,392.33).<br>


A sensitivity analysis was conducted in 2019 to compare construction cost estimates generated by the tool to actual costs of implemented projects. '''The analysis found that tool estimates were typically within ±14% of actual construction costs'''<ref>Credit Vally Conservation (CVC). 2019.
