What is a RICE & ICE calculator?

A RICE & ICE calculator is a prioritization tool that helps product managers and teams rank features, ideas, or projects objectively by scoring them against standardized mathematical frameworks.

How does the prioritization tool work?

Select either the RICE or ICE framework, list your features, and fill in the values for each metric. The tool automatically calculates an objective, color-coded score for each item, letting you instantly see what to prioritize.

What is the difference between RICE and ICE?

RICE evaluates four metrics—Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort—and is ideal for data-backed roadmapping. ICE simplifies this into three factors—Impact, Confidence, and Ease (Effort)—making it perfect for quick, early-stage ideas or marketing experiments.

What do the Confidence levels mean?

Confidence scores keep your roadmap realistic by adjusting for risk. Use 100% (High) when backed by quantitative data or testing, 80% (Medium) for qualitative user feedback, and 50% (Low) when working with assumptions or educated guesses.

Can I save and export my prioritized list?

Yes, you can easily copy your entire prioritized list as a CSV. This lets you paste your scored backlog directly into spreadsheets, project management tools, or Miro boards to start planning your sprints.

Take the guesswork out of product prioritization

When everything feels like a priority, it is hard to know what to build next. The RICE & ICE Calculator helps you move past "gut feelings" or the loudest voice in the room. By evaluating features across standardized criteria, you can clearly identify quick wins, high-impact strategic initiatives, and features that might not be worth the effort.

Toggle between RICE and ICE

Choose the framework that matches your data and timeline. Use RICE when you have concrete usage data and want a precise, quantitative score based on reach, or switch to ICE for early-stage ideas and fast-moving projects where you need a lightweight, rapid scoring system.

Score with confidence and precision

Evaluate every feature consistently using built-in formulas and simple dropdowns for impact and confidence. By factoring in user reach alongside development effort, you get an objective, color-coded priority score that keeps your roadmap honest and realistic.

Bring your roadmap to life in Miro

Once you have ranked your backlog, continue your product planning in Miro. Copy your prioritized list as a CSV and turn your high-scoring features into interactive sticky notes, map them out on visual roadmaps, and collaborate with your team to align stakeholders on what to build next.
