Enter appliance power (watts), daily usage (hours), and electricity rate to calculate costs.
Using the Electricity Cost Calculator is straightforward:
Formula: Cost = Power(kW) × Time(hours) × Rate($/kWh). Example: 1000W AC running 8 hours/day at $0.12/kWh = 1kW × 8h × $0.12 = $0.96/day. Calculate daily, monthly, or yearly costs easily.
Check the rated power (watts) on appliance labels. Typical ranges: AC 1000-3000W, Refrigerator 100-200W, Washing Machine 300-500W, Water Heater 1500-3000W, TV 100-300W. This tool calculates total consumption and cost by day/month/year.
Tips: 1) Use energy-efficient appliances; 2) Turn off lights and unplug standby devices; 3) Set AC to energy-saving temperatures (72°F+/26°C+); 4) Use time-of-use rates (cheaper at night); 5) Clean AC filters and defrost fridge regularly.
This tool uses standard formulas for reliable estimates. Actual bills may vary due to tiered pricing, time-of-use rates, and local surcharges. Check your local utility company's rate schedule for exact figures.
