Energy Calculator

Description

Energy Calculator is a Python application with a graphical user interface that helps users calculate their energy costs based on various factors. It uses the CustomTkinter library for creating a modern-looking GUI.

Features

• Calculate energy costs based on starting and current KWh readings
• Include fixed fees in the calculation
• Account for the number of days charged
• Consider various fees and charges such as regulated charges, air pollution fees, and community fees
• Display the total charge for the energy consumption

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• CustomTkinter library

Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the source code.
2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install customtkinter

Usage

Run the energy_calculator.py file:

python energy_calculator.py

The application window will open, allowing you to input the following information:

1. Starting KWh
2. Current KWh
3. Fixed Fees
4. Days Charged

After entering the required information, click the "Show Result" button to see the calculated total charge.

Code Structure

The main components of the application are:

1. EnergyCalculator class (lines 5-73):

   • Initializes the GUI components
   • Handles the calculation logic

2. Main execution block (lines 74-78):

   • Creates the root window
   • Initializes the EnergyCalculator
   • Starts the main event loop

Customization

You can modify the calculation factors in the showResult method of the EnergyCalculator class to adjust the energy cost calculation according to your specific needs or local energy pricing.
