Use the calculator below to estimate electricity usage and cost based on the power requirements and usage of appliances. The amount of time and power that each appliance is used varies significantly between households, so for the best results, adjust the usage for each appliance to most accurately reflect your personal usage.
The following is the estimated average electricity usage for this appliance along with the cost of the electricity over varying spans of time.
| Electricity usage | Cost | Time span |
|---|---|---|
| 24 kWh | $3.60 | per day |
| 168 kWh | $25.20 | per week |
| 730.6 kWh | $109.58 | per month |
| 8,766 kWh | $1,314.90 | per year |
This calculator assumes there are 30.44 days in a month and 365.25 days in a year on average.

You can find wattage information on the appliance label, user manual, or manufacturer's website. Common household items: LED bulb (10W), refrigerator (150W), laptop (50W), air conditioner (1500W). Our calculator includes preset values for most common appliances.
Watts (W) measure power (energy used per second). Kilowatt-hours (kWh) measure energy consumption (power × time). Electricity bills are based on kWh: 1 kWh = using 1000 watts for 1 hour.
Typically, heating and cooling systems (AC, heaters), water heaters, clothes dryers, and refrigerators are the biggest energy consumers. Electronics and lighting usually consume less but can add up significantly.
Yes, many appliances have "phantom loads" or "vampire power" - they draw small amounts of power when turned off but still plugged in. Common culprits include TVs, computers, chargers, and kitchen appliances with digital clocks.
Effective strategies include: using energy-efficient appliances, unplugging devices when not in use, optimizing thermostat settings, using LED lighting, and reducing hot water usage. Our calculator helps identify your biggest savings opportunities.
