Tool
Annual running cost calculator
Estimate likely weekly, monthly, annual, and longer-term electricity cost before deciding whether a product still looks like good value.
What this tool is for
Use this when purchase price alone is not enough to judge value
This calculator is designed to support product comparisons where electricity use matters over time, especially when two models look close on day-one price but differ on likely running cost.
Best use of this tool
Keep one assumption set and compare like for like
The result is most useful when you compare two or more shortlist options using the same electricity price and the same weekly-use pattern.
Your inputs
Enter a simple usage estimate
Use either watts plus hours per use, or enter a direct kWh-per-use figure if the product already lists electricity use in that format.
Practical note
This tool estimates electricity cost only. It does not include repairs, detergent, water, or any other ownership costs.

How to use this estimate
This is a planning estimate. It works best when you compare products using the same assumptions, rather than treating one result as a perfect future bill.
Best workflow
Run the same assumptions across two or three shortlist options, then compare the annual and five-year figures before returning to the shortlist page.
