Appliance calculator
Convert watts and usage time into monthly electricity cost.
Assumptions
Use the label wattage, then test the usage pattern.
Find the watts
Use the appliance label, smart plug reading, or manufacturer specification instead of guessing from similar devices.
Separate standby use
Always-on electronics and high-power devices need different assumptions. Estimate active hours and standby hours separately when needed.
Compare before replacing
A new appliance only saves money if the operating-cost difference is large enough to matter against the purchase price.
Appliance checks
Use it before buying, replacing, or leaving something on.
- 01Is an always-on device expensive?
Estimate the monthly cost of freezers, pumps, network gear, aquariums, or dehumidifiers.
- 02Will a timer help?
Reduce daily hours and see whether a timer or schedule changes the monthly total enough to matter.
- 03Is replacement worth it?
Compare the yearly running cost with a newer model before assuming efficiency pays for the upgrade.
