How to calculate my gas bill - Conversion Factor

I am with Airtricity and I am attempting to estimate what my gas bill currently is.

My understanding is to do the following calculation:

Current Meter Reading m3 = 135 (units since last reading) x
Conversion Factor = ? (where do I get an approx figure for this) x
Unit Rate = 0.1139

Plus standing charge, carbon tax and vat.

Does the above sound correct and can anyone direct me to where I could get an approx conversion factor multiplier. I believe it can vary.

Thank you.
 

Conversion factor

The conversion factor is used to convert the volume of gas used (m3) into the energy value of the gas (kWh). The conversion factor changes based on the energy content of the gas in the network.

The energy content of gas may change depending on where it comes from, this is why there may be differences in the conversion factor from bill to bill. Gas Networks Ireland is responsible for calculating the conversion factor and they pass this information on to suppliers who use it when calculating customer bills.
