Appliances
What each appliance really costs to run, with editable prices — see the wattage, typical use and yearly cost for every appliance in your home.
Every figure starts from a typical wattage and, where the appliance actually cycles on and off rather than running flat out, a real duty cycle — not the nameplate rating times hours. Open any page below to adjust the price per kWh and your own usage.
