Calculation trace
- (1,000 W ÷ 1000) × 10 h = 10 kWh10 kWhDaily energy
- 10 kWh × 0.15 per kWh = 1.51.5Daily cost
- 1.5 × 30 days = 454530-day cost
§
How it works
Daily energy = (watts ÷ 1000) × hours per day; daily cost = energy × your rate; monthly cost ≈ daily × 30.
Assumptions & limits
- The electricity rate (per kWh) is user-supplied.
- A month is approximated as 30 days.
§
FAQ
- Why is the month 30 days?
- It is a round approximation for a quick monthly estimate; multiply daily cost by the exact days for precision.
