About this calculator

The Synergy Realization Calculator benchmarks your PE trade roll-up against Bain's published M&A research showing that ~30% of deals realize less than 70% of committed synergies over 36 months. The realization curve is adjusted for trade vertical complexity and number of integrations.

Integration milestone benchmarks (CoA standardization by month 6, single field-service system by month 9, unified dispatching by month 12) are based on observed patterns in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical roll-up portfolios.
