Appliance Power Consumption Calculator
Estimate appliance energy use and running costs from wattage, usage and your tariff.
- 27 appliance presets
- Daily to yearly cost
Understand how much electricity your home uses, what each appliance costs to run, and where you can save. Work from watts to kWh, compare AC efficiency, estimate bills, and plan lower-cost energy use with transparent formulas.
What does my AC cost to run? Enter the unit's power, usage and electricity rate.
Start with an appliance, an air conditioner, or the figures on your electricity bill.
Estimate appliance energy use and running costs from wattage, usage and your tariff.
Add multiple appliances to estimate household electricity use, monthly cost, and your biggest energy users.
Estimate air-conditioner running costs from BTU rating, efficiency, usage and electricity rate.
Estimate a bill from meter readings or kWh, tariff, fixed charges and tax.
Map peak and off-peak rates, schedule appliances, and find cheaper hours to use electricity.
Use the guides to understand the units, assumptions and household choices behind each estimate.
Running vs start-up watts, typical daily kWh by fridge size, and the factors that quietly raise a fridge's running cost month to month.
