Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formulas to estimate your utility costs:
Electricity Cost
Electricity Cost = (Monthly Consumption × Rate per kWh) + Fixed Monthly Charge
Where Rate per kWh is based on Ontario's average residential electricity rate.
Natural Gas Cost
Gas Cost = (Monthly Consumption × Rate per therm) + Fixed Monthly Charge
Where Rate per therm is based on Ontario's average residential natural gas rate.
Hydro Cost
Hydro Cost = (Monthly Consumption × Rate per kWh) + Fixed Monthly Charge
Where Rate per kWh is based on Ontario's average residential hydro rate.
The fixed monthly charges are based on average Ontario residential rates. These rates are subject to change and may vary by provider.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the estimated monthly cost for a residential customer using 1,000 kWh of electricity.
Example Calculation
Given:
- Monthly electricity consumption: 1,000 kWh
- Average rate per kWh: $0.15
- Fixed monthly charge: $12.00
Calculation:
Electricity Cost = (1,000 × $0.15) + $12.00 = $150.00 + $12.00 = $162.00
Therefore, the estimated monthly cost for 1,000 kWh of electricity in Ontario would be $162.00.
Note
This is an estimate based on average rates. Your actual bill may be higher or lower depending on your specific circumstances.
