Worked Example
Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works:
Example Calculation
If you use 150 cubic meters of gas each month and the current rate is $1.20 per cubic meter:
Monthly Gas Bill = 150 m³ × $1.20/m³ = $180.00
In this example, your estimated monthly gas bill would be $180. This is based on the assumption that you use exactly 150 cubic meters of gas each month at the given rate.
