Appliance Electricity Cost Calculator

Find the units and rupees any appliance costs you per day, month and year from its wattage and hours of use.

Appliance power (watts)

Look for the watt rating on the label. For AC, 1 ton is about 1,000–1,200 W; 1.5 ton about 1,500 W.

Hours used per day

Actually running (% of that time)

Compressors cycle on and off, so a fridge or AC does not draw full power all the time.

Days per month

Electricity rate (₹ per unit)

A unit is 1 kWh — see your bill for the rate.

Estimates only. Real use depends on the room, settings and the appliance's star rating.
