What Does It Cost to Run?

Pick an appliance and your state. We use your state's current residential electricity rate from EIA data, not a national average that can be off by 3×.

Per day

Per month

Per year

The math

Cost = watts ÷ 1,000 × hours × your state's price per kWh. The single biggest mistake in most "cost to run" answers online is using the national average rate. In Hawaii or California an appliance costs roughly three times what it costs in Washington or Nebraska, so we always price at your state's current EIA residential rate.

Wattages are typical values from DOE Energy Saver tables. Your unit's nameplate may differ. Edit the watts field to match it.
