MMBtu - million british thermal units
W - watt

*The conversion factors indicated by an asterix (*) above are approximate.  Converting gas volumes to energy is estimated, and not exact, as the energy content of natural gas varies slightly depending on the precise composition of the gas.

To calculate your monthly electricity consumption:

To find your monthly electricity consumption for an electrical appliance or piece of equipment, take the equipment wattage (W) and divide by 1000, multiply by hours of use per day times days per month.  This will give you an estimate of kilowatt-hours used per month.

W/1000 * hr/day * day/month = kWh/month

To find your monthly cost, take the energy consumption that applies (kWh) and multiply by your energy costs.

kWh/month * $/kWh = $/month
