How it works

Energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh) = watts ÷ 1,000 × hours. Multiply by your price per kWh to get the cost. The monthly figure uses the days per month above, and the yearly figure is twelve months of that.

Example: a 1,500 W space heater running 2 hours a day uses 3 kWh a day. At 0.15 per kWh that is 0.45 a day, 13.50 a month (30 days) and 162.00 a year.

FAQ

Where do I find my price per kWh?

It is printed on your electricity bill, usually as a rate per kWh. If the bill shows separate supply and delivery charges, add them together.

How do I find an appliance's wattage?

Look at the label on the back or bottom of the device, or in its manual. If it only lists volts and amps, multiply them: watts = volts × amps. Devices that cycle on and off, such as fridges, use less than their label wattage on average.
