Electricity Cost Calculator

Estimate energy use and cost over a selected number of days.

About the Electricity Cost Calculator

This estimator combines device power, daily use and a price per kWh to show energy and cost for a period.

How to use it

  1. Enter device power and select watts or kilowatts.
  2. Enter daily operating hours and the electricity price per kWh.
  3. Choose the number of days and calculate.

How it works

Daily kWh equals power in kW × hours per day. Period cost equals daily kWh × days × price per kWh.

Example

A 1 kW device used 8 hours daily for 30 days consumes 240 kWh. At 0.25 per kWh, the estimate is 60 in the same currency units.

Notes

Actual bills can include tiered rates, taxes, fixed charges, demand charges and varying usage that this simple estimate does not include.
