How to calculate appliance energy cost advanced
This calculator estimates annual appliance energy cost by multiplying power draw, annual operating hours, and a standard electricity rate assumption.
How the calculation works
Annual cost = Appliance power (kW) × Annual operating hours × $0.15/kWh (a commonly used average US residential electricity rate).
Example
A 1.2 kW appliance running 500 hours per year: Annual cost = 1.2 × 500 × 0.15 = $90.

Pro Tips for Appliance Energy Cost Advanced
- Check your actual utility rate on a recent bill and substitute it for the built-in $0.15/kWh assumption if your local rate differs meaningfully, since rates vary widely by region.
- Use the appliance's actual measured or nameplate power draw where possible, since real-world draw sometimes differs from advertised figures, especially for variable-load appliances.
Common Appliance Energy Cost Advanced Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the built-in $0.15/kWh assumption in an area with a significantly higher or lower electricity rate, which can meaningfully skew the estimate.
