Gas m³ to kWh Calculator

Gas m³ to kWh Calculator

Enter your previous and current gas meter readings. The calculator will work out the gas units used, convert them into an estimated number of kilowatt-hours (kWh), and calculate the estimated cost.

MJ/m³
p/kWh

Estimated result

Gas units used 100.00 m³
Energy used 1,122.62 kWh
Estimated cost £67.36
Your calculation

12,550.00 − 12,450.00 = 100.00 m³

100.00 × 1.02264 × 39.5 ÷ 3.6 = 1,122.62 kWh

This calculator is designed for metric gas meters that record gas in cubic metres (m³). For the most accurate estimate, use the calorific value and volume correction factor shown on your gas bill. Standing charges are not included.

Gas meters usually measure the amount of gas you use in cubic metres (m³). However, your energy supplier charges for gas in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

This calculator helps you convert gas usage from cubic metres into an estimated number of kilowatt-hours.

Gas m³ to kWh Calculator

The calculation used on UK gas bills is:

Gas used in m³ × volume correction factor × calorific value ÷ 3.6 = kWh

For a useful calculator, I would allow the visitor to enter:

  • Gas used (m³)
  • Calorific value (MJ/m³)
  • Volume correction factor
  • Unit rate (p/kWh)

The calculator can then show both the estimated kWh used and the cost of that gas.
