My gas tariff is 10.24p/KWH.Standing charge 28.48p/day. My meter ereading 47 days ago was 44913.Today it is 45133.Can anyone tell me what my bill should be ? Thanks.

On one condition....
You tell me if your meter reads gas in cubic feet, or cubic metres. Without that knowledge, cannot do the maths.

Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons. -
Level 9211-12-22If your readings are already in kWh, say from an IHD then
220kWh x 10.24p = £22.53 for the gas.
47 days x 28.48p = £13.39 for standing charges
Total bill £35.92
If cubic feet (actually the meter records in hundreds of cubic feet) that's roughly 30kWh.
30kWh x 10.24p = £3.07 for the gas
£13.39 for SC
Total bill £16.46
If cubic metres, that's about 2500 kWh
2500kWh x 10.24p = £256 for the gas.
£13.39 for the SC
Total bill £269.39
Over 47 days, the latter figure in cubic metres sounds the most plausible if you have gas central heating. If you just have a gas cooker, either of the above figures are equally plausible.
That works out at an average of £5.73 a day.
Add 5% if those figures don't include the VAT
Just ballpark approximations because I don't know what your exact calorific value or quality correction values are.Last edited by retrotecchie; 11-12-22 at 10:42.

Level 111-12-22Pardon my ignorance,buI I don't know if I'm in cubic feet or metres.It says on my bill - consumption 220 units (m3). Does that tell you which it is ? -
Level 9111-12-22Metres - check that your meter measures tha way too and not ‘00 cubic feet it’ll be on the front or in the illuminated volume display.

Yep, m3 is metres cubed, or cubic metres. So, my third set of calculations was nearest the mark. -
GuestTommysgirl11-12-22@Beiderbecke
Yes m3 is cubic meters. I've done an approximate calculation of your bill for 47 days usage based on the tariffs for my region, and the total has worked out at £270.49, very similar to the calculation by @retrotecchie. The calculation formula should be displayed on your bill, and is a bit long-winded, but can be easily worked out with a calculator, plus pen and paper to jot down each stage. I'm by no means a brilliant mathematician, but I can manage to do the bill calculations without any difficulty.😀👍 -
Level 9211-12-22@Beiderbecke
Yes, I was in the right ballpark, give or take. The figures I used to convert m3 to kWh were rough approximations. The full pdf versions of your bill will give exact figures, as @Tommysgirl says.
If you have the app or online access, you can download a full copy of the bill.
Go into statements, and then look for the download links on the right.
