How this is calculated

Energy use is watts × hours ÷ 1,000 = kWh. Multiplied by your electricity price, that gives the cost. Many devices use less than their label maximum most of the time.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the real power draw?

A plug-in energy meter shows the actual watts and is the most reliable way to measure.

What does standby cost?

A device drawing 5 W around the clock uses about 44 kWh a year — around $7 at $0.17 per kWh.
