How Dew Point Calculation Works

Our calculator uses the Magnus-Tetens approximation formula to determine dew point based on:

  • Air Temperature: Current temperature in your preferred unit (°F, °C, or K)
  • Relative Humidity: Moisture content as percentage of saturation (0-100%)
  • Advanced Formula: Magnus-Tetens approximation with 0.1°C accuracy
  • Financial Impact: Prevent costly condensation damage and optimize HVAC efficiency
  • Energy Analysis: Understand when dehumidification is most cost-effective
