How to calculate bills

jdsimmons3

Hi everyone. Just moved home and I'm on Eon next variable rate tariff.
I know how much kWh of electricity I use for per day and night. And also how many units of gas I use per day.

Here is the tariff  I'm on. 
Can someone explain how I can use my numbers to calculate how much I can expect to pay each month?

For electricity you just x the number of units by the price and add the daily standing charge. 

For gas it’s a bit more complicated. If you have an imperial 4 dial meter it’s number of units x 2.83 x 1.02264 x 39.9 / 3.6 to give the kwh then x by unit price and add dsc. 

If you have a metric 5 dial meter miss the x2.83 bit. The gas may not be 100% accurate as the 39.9 is variable but it will be near as damn it

That gas calculation sounds way to complicated haha! I'll give it a try. Thank you for your help

It’s easy if you have a calculator 😀

When you get your first bill the calculations are set out for you to follow.

Make sure you read your bill every month and give the readings to EonNext.   I think EonNext only bill you every 6 months so when it comes it an be a shock.

Also keep records of your meter reads and calculations - use a simple spreadsheet and include your DD. At this time of year your bills will sound high but summer (particularly for gas) will be much less.

Enjoy your new home.

Hi,

if you have metric meter, just multiply units used by 11.2, be close enough.

Try this (scroll down) then add the Standing Charge for the relevant number of days.
