Electricity Calculator
Calculate and compare the costs of using different appliances in your home!
Instructions:
- Look up your electric utility rate ($/kWh) on your bill (example here) and enter below. Selected utility rates are at the bottom of the page for quick reference.
- Check each appliance for how many watts they use. You can find this on some product tags, online, or by using an electricity monitor (video here for using a Poniie 1500 monitor).
- Estimate how long you use each appliance (approximate hours per day and days per month).
- Enter one line per appliance or set of appliances (like lightbulbs) that use the same number of watts and are used for the same amount of time.
- Check out the Energy Saving Tips booklet and start saving!
