Method and assumptions

Energy cost is estimated by multiplying kilowatts by hours used and your electricity rate. The calculation runs in your browser.

  • Wattage, hours used, and the electricity rate stay constant for the period.
  • Fixed charges, time-of-use pricing, taxes, and changing power draw are excluded unless entered separately.
  • For better accuracy, use the appliance label and the rate on your latest utility bill.
