Read the appliance label or measure with a plug-in energy meter. Rated maximum wattage can overstate typical use.

How we calculate it

Watts ÷ 1,000 × hours × days × quantity × rate. Monthly figures use 30 days; annual figures use 365. Use average power draw for appliances that cycle.

Results describe the scenario you enter. They are estimates, not a quote or a guaranteed reduction in your utility bill.
