How to use

  1. Enter Power W.
  2. Enter Hours per day.
  3. Enter Days.
  4. Enter Price per kWh.
  5. Calculate, then review power, price and period before comparing.

How it is calculated

Cost = (watts ÷ 1000 × hours × days) × price/kWh

Example

A 1,500 W appliance running 4 hours daily for 30 days uses 180 kWh; at 0.18 per kWh it costs 32.4.

Important notes

If electricity price varies by time or tier, use a representative average or the time-of-use calculator instead of one fixed price.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include fixed service charges?

No. It calculates variable energy cost from the kWh price only.

Is the result an actual utility bill?

No. It is a calculation from your usage, price and inputs; real tariffs, taxes and fixed fees may add other items.

How can I improve accuracy?

Use measured or device-specific power and usage plus the actual electricity price for the same period.
