How to calculate electric heater output
This calculator finds electric heater power output from voltage and current — the basic power formula applied to resistive heating elements.
How the calculation works
Output (watts) = Voltage × Current.
Example
A 240V heater drawing 20A: Output = 240 × 20 = 4,800 watts.

Pro Tips for Electric Heater Output
- Resistive heaters have a power factor of essentially 1, so this simple multiplication gives an accurate wattage without needing a power factor adjustment.
- Compare calculated output against the heater's nameplate rating to verify it's operating as expected.
Common Electric Heater Output Mistakes to Avoid
- Using nameplate voltage when actual supply voltage differs meaningfully (e.g., 208V vs. 240V systems), which changes real output from what the nameplate rating assumes.
