Formula Used

Gas Consumption Calculation

Total Gas Consumption (cubic meters) = Daily Usage × Number of Days

Estimated Cost (NZD) = Total Consumption × Average Price per Cubic Meter

The calculator uses the following average prices for New Zealand:

Natural Gas: $1.20 per cubic meter
LPG: $1.50 per cubic meter

Worked Example

Let's say you use 15 cubic meters of natural gas per day and want to calculate your monthly consumption:

Number of days: 30
Daily usage: 15 cubic meters
Gas type: Natural gas

Calculation:

Total Consumption = 15 × 30 = 450 cubic meters

Estimated Cost = 450 × $1.20 = $540

Your monthly gas consumption would be 450 cubic meters, costing approximately $540.

Interpreting Results

The calculator provides two key pieces of information:

Total Gas Consumption: Shows how much gas you've used in cubic meters
Estimated Cost: Provides an approximate cost based on average New Zealand prices

Use these results to:

Monitor your gas usage patterns
