How the calculation works

Energy in kWh equals power in watts divided by 1,000, multiplied by the hours used. Multiply the kWh by your unit rate in pence and divide by 100 to get pounds. This calculator does not include your standing charge, which you pay regardless of use.

Some appliances, such as fridges and heat pumps, cycle on and off, so their average use is lower than their label rating. Treat the figures as a guide rather than an exact bill.
