Pump energy and cost

Estimate electricity, cost, energy intensity and optional emissions.

Inputs are sent to the server for this calculation without being saved or added to the URL. Saving a scenario stores it only in this browser.

Calculation inputs

Enter decimals with a point or comma, without thousands separators. Blank optional values stay unknown.

Use one currency throughout. “Currency” denotes your chosen currency; no exchange rates or market prices are supplied.

Clear inputs

Example inputs are illustrative, not data from a real well.

Formula and assumptions

Assumes steady incompressible flow, a known total dynamic head and overall motor/drive/pump efficiency. Hours describe your chosen period (up to 8,784 h). Pump curves, NPSH and transients are not calculated. Emissions require your own stated factor.

Pₕ = ρ × 9.80665 × (Q / 3600) × H / 1000; Pₑ = Pₕ / (η / 100); E = Pₑ × h; C = E × tariff
