This result is the estimated cost of running the ceiling fan for a month at your electricity rate, with the daily and monthly use shown beside it, so longer daily use raises the monthly total.

How to calculate

Formula: monthly kWh = watts ÷ 1,000 × hours per day × days per month. Cost = monthly kWh × electricity rate.

Worked example: 75 watts, 12 hours per day, 30 days, rate $0.17 per kWh. Monthly use = 27 kWh, monthly cost = $4.59.

Tips

Watts are average running watts, not peak watts. Check your appliance label or bill, and use your actual electricity rate for the most useful result. Prices are editable estimates.
