Formula Used

Natural Gas Cost Calculation

The total cost is calculated using the formula:

Total Cost = (Monthly Usage × Rate per m³) × Seasonal Adjustment

Where:

Monthly Usage = Your input in cubic meters
Rate per m³ = Average Ontario rate (varies by provider)
Seasonal Adjustment = 1.2 for winter months, 1.0 for year-round

This formula provides an estimate based on average Ontario rates. Actual costs may vary based on your specific energy provider and contract terms.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the cost for a home using 200 m³ of natural gas per month during winter months:

Example Scenario

Monthly Usage: 200 m³

Rate per m³: $1.20 (average Ontario rate)

Seasonal Adjustment: 1.2 (winter months)

Calculation: (200 × $1.20) × 1.2 = $288

Estimated Annual Cost: $288 × 12 = $3,456

This example shows that a home using 200 m³ of natural gas during winter months would have an estimated annual cost of $3,456 based on average Ontario rates.
