How this is calculated

Watts divided by 1,000 gives kilowatts; times the hours used gives kWh; times your price per kWh gives the cost. A month is the days you enter, a year 12 of those months. Typical wattages for the appliance list are rounded from the Department of Energy's appliance guide; the watts on your appliance's label are better.
