Gross Gallons to Net Gallons Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the net gallons from gross gallons and the temperature correction factor.
N = G * (1 - (T / 100))
Variables:
- N is the net gallons
- G is the gross gallons
- T is the temperature correction factor in percentage
To calculate the net gallons, multiply the gross gallons by the factor (1 – (T / 100)), where T is the temperature correction factor in percentage.

What is Gross Gallons to Net Gallons?
Gross gallons refer to the total volume of liquid measured without any adjustments for temperature. Net gallons, on the other hand, are the adjusted volume of liquid after accounting for temperature changes. The temperature correction factor is used to convert gross gallons to net gallons, ensuring accurate volume measurements under varying temperature conditions. This is particularly important in industries like fuel distribution, where temperature fluctuations can significantly impact volume measurements.
How to Calculate Gross Gallons to Net Gallons?
The following steps outline how to calculate the net gallons from gross gallons and the temperature correction factor.
- First, determine the gross gallons (G).
- Next, determine the temperature correction factor (T) in percentage.
- Finally, calculate the net gallons using the formula N = G * (1 – (T / 100)).
- After inserting the values and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
