The Energy Consumption Calculator helps you determine how much energy an appliance uses based on its power and average daily usage time.

This calculator displays the daily, monthly, and annual energy usage of each appliance and the total energy consumption of all appliances entered.

How to use this Calculator?

  1. If you want to calculate the approximate costs, enter the estimated cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh).
  2. Add the first appliance by specifying its name, power consumption in watts (W), quantity (e.g. if you have multiple devices of this type), and daily usage time in hours and minutes (hh:mm).
  3. Add additional appliances by clicking the Add appliance button or using one of the pre-made sets for popular appliances (e.g. Refrigerator).
  4. See the results.

The daily, monthly, and annual energy consumption of each appliance is displayed below it. At the top of the calculator, you'll find a summarized result for all appliances entered.

How to calculate daily Energy Consumption?

Multiply the power (W) by the daily operating time (hours/day), and divide the result by 1000.

Energy [kWh/day] = Power [W] × Time [h/day] / 1000

For instance, let's calculate the daily energy consumption (in kWh) of a TV that has a power consumption of 70 watts and is used for an average of 3 hours per day.

Energy [kWh/day] = 70 × 3 / 1000 = 0.21 kWh
