Interpretation guide

OutputWhat it tells you
Daily costWhat the appliance costs to run each day.
kWh usedEnergy consumed per day (watts × hours ÷ 1000).
Scale upMultiply daily cost by 30 or 365 for monthly or yearly.

Formula & methodology

Formula: Cost = (watts ÷ 1000) × hours per day × rate per kWh

Electricity cost is energy used times your tariff. Energy in kilowatt-hours is the appliance's wattage times the hours it runs, divided by 1,000.

  1. Enter the appliance power in watts.
  2. Enter how many hours per day it runs.
  3. Enter your electricity rate in dollars per kWh.
  4. The calculator finds daily kWh and multiplies by the rate for the cost.

Worked example: A 1,000 W appliance for 5 hours at $0.15/kWh costs 5 kWh × $0.15 = $0.75 per day.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate electricity cost?
Multiply the wattage by hours used, divide by 1,000 for kWh, then multiply by your rate. 1,000 W for 5 h at $0.15 is $0.75/day.
What is a kilowatt-hour?
A kWh is the energy of a 1,000-watt appliance running for one hour. It is the unit utilities bill you by.
How do I find my electricity rate?
Check your utility bill for the price per kWh. The US average is roughly $0.15–$0.18 per kWh.
How do I get the monthly or yearly cost?
Multiply the daily cost by 30 for a month or 365 for a year of typical use.
Is it free and private to use?
Yes — it is 100% free, needs no sign-up, and every calculation runs in your browser, so your inputs are never uploaded or stored.
