Appliance Electricity
Cost Calculator
Find out how much your home appliances cost to run. Enter the appliance details below to calculate electricity usage and cost per day, month, and year.
Your Results
Monthly Cost Comparison
Compare the current schedule with the selected reduction in operating hours.
Appliance Cost Breakdown
Annual use assumes 365 identical days. Monthly use follows each row’s selected days. Duty cycle scales active hours; fixed utility charges are excluded. Savings scenario reduces operating hours proportionally.

Compare Multiple Appliances
| Appliance | Daily kWh | Monthly kWh | Annual kWh | Daily cost | Monthly cost | Annual cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | 3.600 | 108.000 | 1314.000 | $0.58 | $17.28 | $210.24 |
Tips to Save Electricity
Use wattage from your appliance label.
Adjust duty cycles for appliances that switch on and off.
Use your own electricity rate.
Compare a shorter operating schedule.
How Your Result Is Calculated
From watts to dollars
Daily kWh = watts × scheduled hours × quantity × duty cycle ÷ 100,000. Monthly use multiplies daily use by the selected days. Annual use multiplies daily use by 365. Energy cost equals kWh × your editable electricity rate. Presets are illustrative; verify your equipment rating.
Frequently Asked Questions
