Calculator Inputs

Use the advanced tariff fields below to model hotel electricity bills, demand fees, occupancy effects, and revenue recovery metrics.

Example Data Table

Hotel Profile Value Unit
Monthly Consumption18,500kWh
Peak Usage7,200kWh
Off-Peak Usage11,300kWh
Peak Rate0.24$ / kWh
Off-Peak Rate0.16$ / kWh
Contract Demand180kW
Demand Charge Rate8.50$ / kW
Total Rooms84rooms
Occupancy Rate72%
Average Daily Room Rate112$

Formula Used

Total Energy Charge = (Peak kWh × Peak Rate) + (Off-Peak kWh × Off-Peak Rate)

Slab Surcharge = Max(0, Monthly Consumption − Base Units Before Surcharge) × Slab Surcharge Rate

Demand Charge = Contract Demand × Demand Charge Rate

Fuel and Levy Adjustments = Monthly Consumption × Adjustment Rate

Subtotal Before Tax = Energy Charge + Slab Surcharge + Demand Charge + Fixed Charges + Fuel Adjustment + Environmental Levy + Service Charge

Tax Amount = Subtotal Before Tax × Tax Rate

Grand Total = Subtotal Before Tax + Tax Amount

Cost Per Occupied Room = Grand Total ÷ (Total Rooms × Occupancy Rate)

Cost Per Room Night = Grand Total ÷ (Occupied Rooms × Billing Days)

Energy Share of Revenue = Grand Total ÷ (Room Nights × Average Daily Room Rate) × 100

  3. Add fixed charge, fuel adjustment, environmental levy, service charge, and tax.
  4. Provide hotel operating inputs such as rooms, occupancy, area, ADR, and average stay.
  5. Press the calculate button to display results above the form below the header.
  6. Review bill structure, cost per room, revenue share, and export the outcome as CSV or PDF.

FAQs

1. What does this calculator estimate?

It estimates a hotel’s monthly electricity bill using energy charges, demand charges, surcharges, taxes, and hotel operating metrics such as occupancy and room rate.

2. Why separate peak and off-peak usage?

Many tariffs price electricity differently by time period. Separating usage helps hotels test whether shifting laundry, cooling, or kitchen loads can lower total utility cost.

3. What is a demand charge?

It is a fee based on the contracted or measured maximum power draw. Hotels with strong HVAC or banquet loads often see meaningful cost impact from demand billing.

4. How is cost per occupied room useful?

It translates the bill into an operational measure. Managers can compare electricity cost against occupancy, room rate, and other departmental KPIs more easily.

5. Can I use this for resorts or serviced apartments?

Yes. The structure works for hotels, resorts, hostels, and serviced apartments, provided your tariff uses similar bill components and your occupancy assumptions are realistic.

6. What is energy share of revenue?

It shows how much of room revenue is consumed by the electricity bill. This helps track utility burden during seasonal pricing and occupancy swings.

7. Does the calculator replace the actual utility bill?

No. It is a planning and benchmarking tool. Actual bills may include penalties, rebates, minimum charges, meter rent, or local regulatory adjustments.

8. When should I export CSV or PDF results?

Export results when sharing monthly cost reviews, budget assumptions, engineering reports, procurement discussions, or owner updates that require a reusable snapshot.
