Electricity Cost Formula

Electricity cost is calculated by converting the appliance wattage to kilowatts, multiplying by hours of daily use, and then multiplying by your electricity rate per kWh.

Smart Tip

"Switching from a 1500W space heater to a 200W oil-filled radiator can save over 37/month."

The Formula

Watts = Appliance power rating, Hours = Daily usage.
