How to read this result

Three useful checks, kept deliberately short.

What this result includes

The result shows monthly kWh, monthly cost and cumulative annual cost.

A practical example

A 1,000 W appliance used three hours daily for 30 days at RM0.45/kWh: Convert watts to kilowatts Β· Multiply by usage hours and days Β· Multiply 90 kWh by the entered rate.

Common input mistake

Tiered tariffs, taxes, rebates, standby use and efficiency cycling can change the actual bill.

Formula and assumptions

Monthly kWh = Watts Γ· 1,000 Γ— Hours per Day Γ— Days Γ— Quantity; Cost = kWh Γ— Entered Rate

Use the appliance's rated or measured watts and the effective rate from the bill you are analysing.

Keep in mind: This is an appliance estimate, not a replica of a tiered utility bill.
