Electrical Appliance Cost Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Electricity Cost (EC) per day:

\[ EC = \left( \frac{W}{1000} \right) \times UR \times HD \]

Where:

$EC$ is the Electricity Cost (dollars)
$W$ is the Wattage (watts)
$UR$ is the Utility Rate (dollars per kWh)
$HD$ is the Hours Used Per Day

What is Electrical Appliance Cost?

The electrical appliance cost calculation helps to estimate the cost of using an electrical appliance based on its wattage, the utility rate, and the average number of hours it is used per day. This can help in understanding and managing energy expenses.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Wattage ($W$) = 1500 watts
Utility Rate ($UR$) = 0.12 $/kWh
Hours Used Per Day ($HD$) = 3 hours

Using the formula:

\[ EC = \left( \frac{1500}{1000} \right) \times 0.12 \times 3 = 0.54 \text{ dollars} \]

The Electricity Cost Per Day is $0.54.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Wattage ($W$) = 1000 watts
Utility Rate ($UR$) = 0.15 $/kWh
Hours Used Per Day ($HD$) = 5 hours

Using the formula:

\[ EC = \left( \frac{1000}{1000} \right) \times 0.15 \times 5 = 0.75 \text{ dollars} \]

The Electricity Cost Per Day is $0.75.
