How to calculate electrical power
This calculator finds electrical power from voltage and current — the basic power formula for DC/resistive circuits.
How the calculation works
Power = Voltage × Current.
Example
12V at 2.5A: 12×2.5 = 30W.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Electrical Power
- AC reactive loads need a power factor term — this works directly for DC and resistive loads.
- Use to verify a device's actual power draw against its rating.
Common Electrical Power Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying this directly to a motor/reactive AC load without a power factor adjustment.
