Formula explanation

How this calculator works

Core formula

daily kWh = (watts / 1000) * hours; cost = kWh * rate

The calculator converts appliance wattage into daily energy use, then applies your electricity rate to estimate recurring cost over longer time periods.

  • The model assumes the appliance draws the same power whenever it is on.
  • Bills can differ if tariffs change by time of day or include fixed charges.

Examples

Real scenarios you can copy

45 W router used 6 hours a day at $0.17/kWh

Result: $1.38

This router setup produces $1.38, which gives you a fast monthly running-cost benchmark before you compare habits or models.

120 W router used 10 hours a day at $0.23/kWh

Result: $8.28

At this heavier usage level, the router is projected to cost about $8.28 each month.
