Heating Oil Monthly Cost Estimator
Estimate your monthly heating oil bill from price per gallon, daily usage, and heating days. Optional delivery fee and tax can be included.
How it works
Monthly gallons = daily usage × heating days. Monthly cost = (monthly gallons × price per gallon) plus optional tax and delivery fees. The effective price per gallon reflects those add-ons.
FAQ
How do I estimate daily usage?
You can approximate it from past deliveries: (gallons delivered) ÷ (days until the next delivery).
Does this include delivery minimums?
Not directly—use the delivery fee field to approximate any minimum charge or fixed fee.
