How the Electricity Calculator Works
The electricity calculator multiplies your appliance wattage by the hours of daily use to get daily watt-hours, then divides by 1,000 to convert to kilowatt-hours (kWh). Multiplying kWh by your utility rate gives the daily electricity cost. The calculator then projects monthly (30 days) and yearly (365 days) estimates.
For example, a 60W LED TV running 5 hours per day at $0.12/kWh consumes 0.3 kWh daily, costing about $0.04/day, $1.08/month, or $13.14/year. The electricity calculator makes these projections instant for any appliance wattage.
Understanding your electricity consumption is the first step to reducing your energy bill. The electricity calculator helps you identify which appliances cost the most and where efficiency upgrades deliver the best return on investment.

3 Ways to Lower Electricity Costs
LED Upgrade
Replacing a 60W incandescent with a 10W LED saves $8/year per bulb at average rates. The electricity calculator shows exactly how much you save.
Smart Thermostat
Reducing HVAC runtime by 2 hours daily on a 3,000W system saves roughly $26/month. Use the electricity calculator to model your specific system.
Off-Peak Usage
If your utility offers time-of-use rates, running the dryer at night vs afternoon can save 30-50% on that appliance. The electricity calculator helps compare rates.
