Power Calculator
Calculate electrical power consumption in watts and kilowatt-hours. Find monthly electricity cost for appliances and estimate your bill.
What is Power Calculator?
This power consumption calculator computes the electricity usage and cost of any appliance based on its wattage, daily usage hours, and your electricity tariff rate. Shows daily, monthly, and annual consumption in kWh and equivalent cost.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your Power, Voltage in the input fields provided
- Results are computed instantly as you enter or modify values — no need to click a button
- Review the computed output showing your power results with a detailed breakdown
- Use the output for preliminary design checks — critical applications require verification by a licensed professional
How Power Calculator is Calculated
This calculator computes power values using standard engineering reference formulas (IS/IEEE/ASME). Results are preliminary estimates suitable for coursework and early-stage design checks. All critical applications must be verified by a licensed professional engineer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is electricity bill calculated?
Energy (kWh) = Power (watts) × Hours used / 1000. Cost = kWh × Tariff rate. A 1500W AC running 8 hours/day: 1500 × 8 / 1000 = 12 kWh/day. At ₹7/kWh: ₹84/day or ₹2,520/month.
Which appliances consume the most electricity?
Air conditioners (1,500–2,500W), water heaters/geysers (2,000–3,000W), washing machines (500–2,000W), and refrigerators (150–400W but run 24/7, so ~3–4 kWh/day).
