Appliance Running Cost Calculator

Find out what an appliance really costs to run. Pick it (or enter the watts), set the hours per day and your tariff (₹ per unit), and see the daily, monthly and yearly cost and units. A quick way to spot the loads worth targeting when cutting your bill.

Notice how the hours matter as much as the watts — a 200 W fridge running 24×7 can cost more than a 1800 W AC run briefly. Target the biggest yearly numbers first.

Indicative only. This assumes the appliance draws its stated wattage for the hours set. Real consumption varies — inverter ACs and fridges modulate rather than run flat-out, thermostats cycle, and star rating changes efficiency. Use it to compare and prioritise, and read your bill and a monitor for the true picture.
