Watt to Cost Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Watt to Cost (WTC):

\[ \text{WTC} = W \times T \times CPW \]

Where:

$\text{W}$ is the total power consumption in watts
$\text{T}$ is the total time in hours
$\text{CPW}$ is the cost per watt-hour in dollars per watt-hour

What is Watt to Cost?

The Watt to Cost (WTC) refers to the total cost of energy consumption based on the power used, the duration of use, and the cost per unit of energy. This calculation helps in understanding the cost associated with energy consumption over time and can be useful for budgeting and cost management in both residential and industrial settings.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Watts (W) = 1000 W
Total Time (T) = 5 hours
Cost per Watt-Hour (CPW) = $0.10/WH

Using the formula:

\[ \text{WTC} = 1000 \times 5 \times 0.10 = 500 \]

Watt to Cost (WTC): $500.00

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Watts (W) = 500 W
Total Time (T) = 10 hours
Cost per Watt-Hour (CPW) = $0.20/WH

Using the formula:

\[ \text{WTC} = 500 \times 10 \times 0.20 = 1000 \]

Watt to Cost (WTC): $1000.00
