Calculate real appliance costs—not just wattage

The calculator combines appliance power, quantity, time and separate day and night tariffs.

Energy use

Power multiplied by operating time.

kWh = kW × Hours

Cost

Energy multiplied by the applicable tariff.

Cost = kWh × Price per kWh

Blended tariff

Weighted average of day and night rates.

Day share × Day rate + Night share × Night rate

Electricity cost FAQs

Where can I find appliance wattage?

Check the appliance label, manual or manufacturer specifications. Actual consumption may vary by operating mode.

Why might measured cost differ?

Thermostats, standby use, cycling, efficiency, variable power and tariff charges can change real consumption.
