Every assumption is visible, and the rates and prices are yours to enter.

Which calculation to choose

What to prepare

Use appliance power, actual on-time and your tariff; for heating, prepare room dimensions and applicable model conditions.

Common mistake

A kilowatt is power; a kilowatt-hour is energy. Required heating power is not continuous electrical consumption.

FAQ

Where do I find my electricity tariff?

Your bill gives the price per kilowatt-hour. Electricity usage has a single tariff; with several rate bands, calculate each band’s consumption and price separately, then add the costs.

Is appliance power the number on the label?

Power × time assumes the entered power over the entered operating time. A cycling appliance is not continuously active at its rated power. Use suitable active time or measured average power; the calculator does not infer switching cycles.

How much should I tip?

It depends on country, venue and situation. The initial 10% is an editable calculation example, not a regional recommendation; you choose the percentage.

What do I need for the pool calculation?

Either the volume in cubic metres, or the dimensions of a rectangular or round pool, plus the flow rate. Arbitrary shapes are not supported.
