Formula
- Gas vs Electric Dryer Cost Calculator calculates its result from Loads per year, Electricity price per kWh, Gas price per therm. It uses the formula Calculated with the verified ST Calculator runtime.. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are Loads per year, Electricity price per kWh, Gas price per therm. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Use the units, labels and assumptions shown beside each input so the formula is applied consistently.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Gas vs Electric Dryer Cost
- Loads per year: 300
- Electricity price per kWh: 0.15
- Gas price per therm: 1.5
Using Loads per year = 300, Electricity price per kWh = 0.15, Gas price per therm = 1.5, the calculated result is Electric annual cost: 148.5 | Gas annual cost: 105.75.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Gas vs Electric Dryer Cost calculate?
Gas vs Electric Dryer Cost Calculator The Gas vs Electric Dryer Cost Calculator compares the annual running cost of a gas and an electric clothes dryer from your usage and energy rates. Enter loads per week and your rates. — free online calculator.
Which values should I enter?
Enter Loads per year, Electricity price per kWh, Gas price per therm using the units and format shown beside each field.
What formula does this calculator use?
The calculator uses the following relationship: Assumption-based annual operating-cost comparison using L loads/year, electric rate Pe per kWh and gas rate Pg per therm. Electric cost = L × 3.3 kWh/load × Pe. Gas cost = L × (0.22 therm/load × Pg + 0.15 kWh/load × Pe). The 3.3, 0.22 and 0.15 consumption figures are fixed illustrative per-load assumptions; actual appliances, cycles and local rates vary. Gas cost includes assumed electric auxiliary use..
Why might my result differ from another source?
Results can differ when another source uses different units, rounding rules, conventions or assumptions. Compare the inputs and definitions before comparing results.
Does the result update automatically?
Yes. Changing an input updates the result using the same calculation engine shown on this page.
