Estimated electricity use
90kWh
The result is electricity use in kWh, not cost. Use the appliance electricity-cost tool for money.
Power × time. Nameplate power is not continuous measured power. This tool does not calculate Taipower tiered bills.
Method and scope
Energy in kWh equals watts times daily hours times days divided by 1,000. A kWh is an energy amount, while watts measure power.
The result is estimated consumption only. Use the electricity-cost tool to apply a price per kWh.
Nameplate power can differ from operating average power. Taiwan Taipower tiered, summer and time-of-use charges are not calculated here.
What this helps you do
Estimate electricity consumed by one appliance over a period. Use realistic average power when the appliance cycles on and off.
What to enter
Start with average power (watts), then fill the other relevant fields in the units shown. The field hints explain the required format and examples.
How the calculation works
Energy in kWh equals watts times daily hours times days divided by 1,000. A kWh is an energy amount, while watts measure power.
Worked example
A 200 W appliance used five hours a day for ten days uses 10 kWh. That is ten electricity units, not a price.
Understanding the answer
The result is estimated consumption only. Use the electricity-cost tool to apply a price per kWh.
Scope and limitations
Nameplate power can differ from operating average power. Taiwan Taipower tiered, summer and time-of-use charges are not calculated here.
