Gas Price Formula:
| From: | To: |
The Gas Price Per kWh Calculator helps UK consumers determine the cost of gas per kilowatt-hour from their total gas bill and energy consumption. This provides a clear understanding of gas pricing for better energy management and cost comparisons.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: This calculation divides your total gas cost by the amount of energy consumed to determine the price you pay per unit of energy.
Details: Understanding your gas price per kWh is essential for budgeting, comparing energy tariffs, identifying potential savings, and making informed decisions about energy usage and provider choices.
Tips: Enter your total gas cost in pounds (£) and energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh) from your gas bill. Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero.
Q1: Where can I find these values on my gas bill?
A: Your total cost is usually shown as "Amount Due" or "Total Charge." Energy consumption is typically listed as "Gas Used" or "Consumption" in kWh.
Q2: What is the average gas price per kWh in the UK?
A: Gas prices vary by region, tariff, and time, but typically range between 2p to 10p per kWh depending on your energy plan and market conditions.
Q3: Does this include standing charges and VAT?
A: This calculation includes all charges from your bill (standing charges, VAT, etc.) divided by your consumption, giving you the effective price per kWh.
Q4: How often should I calculate my gas price?
A: It's good practice to calculate this with each bill to monitor price changes and compare with other available tariffs in the market.
Q5: Can I use this for electricity calculations too?
A: While the formula is similar, electricity tariffs often have different structures. Use a dedicated electricity calculator for accurate comparisons.
