Where:

• \( kWh \) — Gas usage in kilowatt-hours

Explanation: The calculation multiplies your gas usage by the unit rate to determine your total gas bill.

3. Importance of Gas Bill Calculation

Details: Understanding your gas costs helps with budgeting, comparing energy tariffs, and identifying potential savings through energy efficiency.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your gas usage in kWh (found on your meter or bill) and your current gas rate in GBP/kWh (found on your energy bill or tariff details).
