Complete the fields and calculate.

Calculation method and formula

L = Water per bath [l] × Baths per month; L ÷ 1000 × Water price per m³ + L × Hot-water share [%] ÷ 100 × Temperature rise [°C] × 0.001163 × Energy price per kWh

Understand the inputs

Water per bath
Unit: l. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Baths per month
Minimum 1. Whole number.
Water price per m³
Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Hot-water share
Unit: %. Minimum 0. Maximum 100. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Temperature rise
Unit: °C. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Energy price per kWh
Use a measured value or your own assumption.

Assumptions and limitations

Water volumes are converted from litres to m³. Hot-water costs use theoretical heat energy; storage, pipe and heating losses are excluded. Enter your current tariffs.

The formula uses the specified units. Displayed numbers are rounded; whole packs, item counts and full time periods may also be rounded within the calculation.
