Electricity Cost Calculator

Calculate the running cost of any appliance using your electricity rate.

Understanding Your Power Bill

Australian electricity rates average 28-35 cents per kWh in 2025. Knowing what each appliance costs to run helps you find real savings.

Common Appliance Wattages

  • Electric kettle: 2,200-3,000W
  • Split system AC: 900-2,500W
  • Clothes dryer: 2,000-4,000W
  • Fridge: 100-400W (runs ~8h/day)
  • LED TV: 30-100W
  • Laptop: 30-70W

Reducing Your Bill

  • Switch to LED bulbs (75% less power than halogen)
  • Run appliances off-peak where possible
  • Set AC to 24C - each degree lower adds ~10% to running cost
