How to Calculate Your Natural Gas Bill

The total cost of your natural gas bill can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C):

§§ C = (V \times R) + F §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost of the gas bill
  • § V § — gas volume consumed (in cubic meters)
  • § R § — gas rate per cubic meter (in your selected currency)
  • § F § — additional fees (if any)

This formula allows you to determine the total amount you will need to pay for your natural gas consumption, including any extra charges.

Example:

  • Gas Volume (§ V §): 100 m³
  • Gas Rate (§ R §): $0.5/m³
  • Additional Fees (§ F §): $10

Total Cost:

§§ C = (100 \times 0.5) + 10 = 50 + 10 = 60 \text{ USD} §§
