Equipment Electricity Cost

Estimate electricity use from input power, equipment count and operating time. Apply your energy rate and a separately entered monthly charge.

Use equipment electricity cost →

Lighting Retrofit Savings

Compare the same fixture count and annual hours at two entered input wattages, then add your maintenance saving assumption.

Use lighting retrofit savings →

Commercial Electricity Bill

Model one billing period with two sequential energy tiers, an entered billable demand, one fixed charge and a stated tax rule.

Use commercial electricity bill →

Battery Runtime Scenario

Apply usable share and one-way conversion efficiency to nominal DC energy, then divide available AC energy by a constant AC load.

Use battery runtime scenario →

Fuel Cost per Input Energy

Turn your fuel unit price and heat content into input-energy cost, including a separate delivered-purchase perspective.

Use fuel cost per input energy →

Useful Heating Cost

Use an entered output/input efficiency and matching fuel heat content to estimate metered fuel use and annual operating cost.

Use useful heating cost →

Heat Pump vs Boiler Cost

Hold useful heat constant, apply an entered seasonal COP and boiler efficiency, then compare rounded energy and fixed operating costs.

Use heat pump vs boiler cost →

Motor Efficiency Savings

Convert the same mechanical shaft output through two entered efficiencies, then compare annual energy charges and simple payback.

Use motor efficiency savings →

Battery Arbitrage Scenario

Price one supplied charge/discharge cycle after round-trip loss and a user-stated degradation allowance, then extend it over counted cycles.

Use battery arbitrage scenario →

Compressed Air Leak Cost

Calculate the electricity cost of a measured compressed air leak in CFM or m³/min, using pressurized hours and matched compressor energy data.

Use compressed air leak cost →

Compressed Air Unit Cost

Calculate electricity-only cost per m³ and measured kWh per m³ from total compressor electricity and total delivered air volume for the same period.

Use compressed air unit cost →

Cooling Energy Cost

Convert entered useful cooling energy through a matching COP or EER convention to an electrical-energy cost.

Use cooling energy cost →

Fuel Volume to Energy

Convert a liquid volume to litres, then apply your supplied fuel heat content on its stated gross or net basis.

Use fuel volume to energy →

Steam Energy Cost

Value a stated steam mass using reviewed steam and feedwater enthalpies, a matching boiler efficiency and an entered fuel rate.

Use steam energy cost →

Before you use these calculations

Keep power, measured in kW, separate from energy over time, measured in kWh.

Check whether a rated value describes input or useful output. Boiler efficiency, motor efficiency and heat-pump COP use different conventions.

Use your tariff and operating hours. Demand charges, peak periods and fixed fees can change a cost comparison.

Start with the example, replace the assumptions with your measurements, then change one input to see its effect. Save or export the scenario if you need to keep its basis.
