The Monthly cost is the estimated amount the appliance adds to your monthly electricity bill, while the Electricity used per day and Cost per day rows break that total down into daily use and daily cost.

How to calculate

Formula: kWh = watts ÷ 1,000 × hours. Cost = kWh × rate.

Worked example: 1,000 watts, 5 hours per day, 30 days, rate $0.17 per kWh. Monthly use = 150 kWh, monthly cost = $25.50.

Tips

Use the watts from the appliance label and your bill rate for the best result.
