Formula

Core Formula

\text{Monthly Cost} = \frac{\text{Watts} \times \text{Hours/Day} \times 30}{1000} \times \text{Grid Rate}

How it works: Calculates total kWh used by the appliance and multiplies it by your electricity tariff.

Worked Example

Running a 100W TV for 5 hours a day at $0.20/kWh costs $3.00 per month.
