How to Use This Calculator
To calculate your Ontario gas bill:
- Enter your home's annual heating requirement in therms (available from your energy provider).
- Select your gas supplier from the dropdown list.
- Enter your current gas price per therm (check your latest bill).
- Click "Calculate" to see your estimated monthly bill.
The calculator provides an estimate based on the information you provide. For precise billing, always refer to your actual gas bill.
Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your monthly gas bill:
Monthly Gas Bill = (Annual Heating Requirement ÷ 12) × Gas Price per Therm
Where:
- Annual Heating Requirement - Your home's total gas consumption in therms per year
- Gas Price per Therm - Current price charged by your supplier for one therm of gas
The result is rounded to the nearest cent for practical purposes.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a monthly gas bill for a home with an annual heating requirement of 12,000 therms and a gas price of $1.20 per therm.
Monthly Gas Bill = (12,000 ÷ 12) × $1.20 = 1,000 × $1.20 = $1,200
This means the estimated monthly gas bill would be $1,200.
Note: Actual bills may vary based on seasonal adjustments, taxes, and other factors not included in this simple estimate.
