Demand Factor Calculator

Calculate a transparent user-input ratio for one connected-load boundary.

01 / Inputs

Same-boundary load inputs

Demand factor = maximum coincident demand / total connected load

Both inputs must describe the same load boundary and use the same power basis and units. Maximum demand above connected load is rejected by this calculator’s selected rule; verify the boundary and units.

This is not load factor, diversity/coincidence factor, a code-required demand allowance, or utility billing demand.

02 / Result

Method and boundaries

Demand factor = maximum coincident demand / total connected load.

This is not load factor, diversity/coincidence factor, code-required allowance or utility billing demand.

FAQ

What does this calculator compute?

Demand factor is maximum coincident demand divided by total connected load.

What is it not?

It is not load factor, diversity or coincidence factor, a code-required allowance, or utility billing demand.

What inputs does it need?

Enter the maximum coincident demand and the total connected load in the same unit. Connected load must be greater than zero for the ratio to be defined.
