Fuel calculators
Estimate consumption, runtime, storage, and fuel cost per kWh.
Calculator
Fuel Cost per kWh
Turn any fuel price and energy content into dollars per delivered kWh, then compare it with the grid rate.

Fuel Tank & Runtime Calculator
Runtime from a tank, or the tank you need for a target runtime, with the usable-volume limit applied.

Fuel Type Cost Comparison
Diesel, propane, natural gas, and gasoline side by side on the same load and the same hours, in dollars per hour and per year.
Open calculatorCalculator
Natural Gas Generator Consumption
Cubic feet, therms, and dollars per hour for a natural gas set, including the pipeline supply figure you must give the gas fitter.
Open calculatorCalculator
Propane Generator Consumption
Gallons, pounds, and BTU per hour for a propane set, plus how many hours a tank of a given size buys.
Open calculatorCalculator
Propane Tank Sizing & Vaporization
A propane tank must vaporize the generator's BTU per hour at the coldest expected temperature, not just hold enough gallons.
Open calculatorCalculator
Runtime at Partial Load
Interpolate the manufacturer's 25/50/75/100% fuel points to the load you actually run, instead of assuming full load.
Open calculatorCalculator
Tank Fill & Top-Off Cost
What a fill actually costs, what delivery saves over the pump, and how often a fill has to happen.
