Formula and calculation logic

Seasonal use = monthly use × occupied months

Annual cost = seasonal use × all-in price + monthly fixed charges × 12

Seasonal kWh = typical monthly use × occupied months. Seasonal cost = seasonal kWh × all-in electricity price; annual fixed charges are added for 12 months.

Assumptions

  • The entered monthly use is assumed to apply in each occupied month. Standby use, seasonal price changes, cabin electricity support eligibility, and tariff-specific billing are not automatically modeled.
