How electricity is calculated

Estimate electrical energy and cost from power, hours of use, and an adjustable price per kilowatt-hour. For variable loads, use average power over the measured interval; fixed charges, taxes, demand fees, and time-of-use rates are not included. A 100 W lamp used 5 hours consumes 0.5 kWh. The calculation validates each input and keeps its stated units explicit. Multiply kW by hours; 1,000 watts used for one hour is 1 kWh. This is an estimate for the stated assumptions; confirm measurements and any applicable professional or local standards before relying on it.

Electricity Calculator is calculated from the supplied measurement fields using the units shown.
