Day/Night Electricity Meter Savings

More about: Day/Night Electricity Meter Savings

What it calculates

The “Day/Night Electricity Meter Savings” calculator computes Monthly savings with a day/night rate in $ from 6 parameters: day, kwh/month, night, kwh/month, day rate ($/kWh), night rate ($/kWh), single (flat) rate ($/kWh), meter cost including installation ($).

A standard physics formula used in educational and engineering tasks.

Example calculation

With parameters Day, kWh/month = 200, Night, kWh/month = 100, Day rate = 5.5 $/kWh, Night rate = 2.5 $/kWh, Single (flat) rate = 4.8 $/kWh, Meter cost including installation = 5,000 $ the result is 90 $ (Savings = (day + night) × flat rate − (day × day rate + night × night rate)).

How to use

1. Enter day, kwh/month, night, kwh/month, day rate, night rate, single (flat) rate and meter cost including installation — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
