How it works
The formula behind this calculator.

energy = power × time; cost = energy × pricePerKwh

power
Wattage (W)
time
Hours of use

Energy = power × time. Standby power (vampire draw) can add 5–10% to your bill. Unplug what you're not using.

Example: 1,500 W AC for 8 h/day × 30 days = 360 kWh → ~$54 at $0.15/kWh

Ref: Electricity bills typically bill in kWh

Tips
  • 💡 Appliance power = voltage × current (P = V × I). A 120V, 5A appliance uses 600 W.
  • 💡 Standby power can add 5–10% to your bill. Unplug what you're not using.
