Appliance Energy Cost Calculator
Add appliances, choose how often they run, and estimate your monthly electricity cost.
Start with your electricity rate
Use the rate on your bill, or enter a U.S. ZIP code for a state average. ZIP can estimate your rate, but it cannot tell how long your appliances run.
Starts at the 2024 U.S. residential average: 16.48¢/kWh.

These are rough energy costs, not a bill forecast. Appliance power varies by model, setting, and cycling; being plugged in does not always mean it uses full running power. Check the EnergyGuide label or use a plug-in meter for a better estimate. Fixed fees, taxes, and time-of-use prices are not included.
