Family Water Usage Calculator

Family Water Usage Calculator — How It Works

Calculates total water usage and estimated cost from daily consumption.

How it works

  1. Enter your average daily water usage in gallons.
  2. Enter the number of days to calculate for (default 30, a typical billing month).
  3. Enter your water rate per gallon.
  4. The tool multiplies daily usage by the number of days for total usage, then multiplies by the rate for estimated cost.

Formula

Total usage = Daily gallons × Days
Total cost = Total usage × Rate per gallon

Example

80 gallons/day over 30 days is 2,400 gallons, costing about $9.60 at $0.004/gallon.

Notes

Water rates vary widely by location and utility provider, and are often billed per 1,000 gallons or per cubic meter — convert your bill’s rate to a per-gallon figure for an accurate estimate.
