Enter the heater power consumption (W), the average usage per day (hrs), and the cost of electricity ($/kWh) into the Estimated Heating Bill Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Estimated Heating Bill. ## Estimated Heating Bill Formula The following formula is used to calculate the Estimated Heating Bill. HB = P * U / 1000 * CE • Where HB is the Estimated Heating Bill ($/day)
• P is the heater power consumption (W)
• U is the average usage per day (hrs)
• CE is the cost of electricity ($/kWh) ## How to Calculate Estimated Heating Bill? The following example problems outline how to calculate Estimated Heating Bill. Example Problem #1 1. First, determine the heater power consumption (W). • The heater power consumption (W) is calculated to be : 500. 2. Next, determine the average usage per day (hrs). • The average usage per day (hrs) is measured to be: 8. 3. Next, determine the cost of electricity ($/kWh).
• The cost of electricity ($/kWh) is found to be: 1.25. 4. Finally, calculate the Estimated Heating Bill using the formula above: HB = P * U / 1000 * CE The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated: HB = 500 * 8 / 1000 * 1.25 = 5.00 ($/day)

Example Problem #2

The variables needed for this problem are provided below:

heater power consumption (W) = 700

average usage per day (hrs) = 8

cost of electricity ($/kWh) = .75 This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer. HB = P * U / 1000 * CE = ($/day)
