How to Use This Calculator
- Enter appliance wattage, daily runtime hours, and utility rate per kilowatt-hour.
Formula & Mathematical Method
Converts watts to kilowatt-hours (kWh) and multiplies by utility unit rate.
Cost = (Watts × Hours / 1,000) × Electricity Rate ($/kWh)Explanation of Variables
| Symbol | Variable Name | Description & Role in Calculation |
|---|---|---|
| Watts | Power Rating | Electric power consumption in watts. |
| kWh | Kilowatt-Hour | Standard billing unit of electrical energy. |
Worked Calculation Examples
1,500W Heater running 6h/day at $0.16/kWh
Scenario: Winter space heating.
9 kWh/day × $0.16 = $1.44/day ($43.20/month).
