How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your hot tub's water capacity in gallons — most residential spas hold 200–500 gallons.
- Set the set temperature (°F) and your local average ambient temperature to determine heating demand.
- Enter the insulation R-value of your spa cabinet; better insulation (R-12+) means lower heating costs.
- Set the pump horsepower and how many times per week you use the tub to account for circulation energy.
- Enter your electricity rate in dollars per kWh — check your utility bill for the exact rate.
- Review Monthly Cost, Annual Cost, and Monthly kWh to compare energy-efficient models or rate plans.
