Calculated result

    Illustrative estimate based on your inputs. Default values are examples, not verified local or equipment-specific data.

    The formula

    Total cost = energy used × price per kWh + days × daily fixed charge.

    A worked example

    300 kWh × 0.25 + 30 days × 0 = 75.00 in your selected currency.

    What this estimate includes

    Use the same billing period for your energy consumption and day count. Include tax in your tariff if you want a tax-inclusive estimate. Demand charges, tiered rates and one-off fees are not modeled.

    Common questions

    Where do I find my electricity rate?

    Look for the unit rate on your bill or tariff agreement. Convert cents or pence to currency units first: 25 cents is 0.25, not 25.

    Can I use this in Europe or North America?

    Yes. Enter your local tariff and select EUR, GBP, USD or CAD. Currency selection changes the label only; it does not convert rates.
