Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Daily Cost = (Wattage × Hours × 0.001) × Electricity Cost

Where:
Wattage: Power consumption of the equipment in watts.
Hours: Number of hours the equipment runs per day.
Electricity Cost: Cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity.

Result

Daily Cost: 0.00 $

Monthly Cost: 0.00 $

Annual Cost: 0.00 $

Aquarium Energy Cost Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Aquarium Energy Cost Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the wattage of your aquarium equipment (e.g., filter, light, heater).
  2. Input the number of hours you run the equipment per day.
  3. Provide the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour in your area.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to see the estimated daily, monthly, and annual energy costs.

Working Principle

The calculator estimates the energy cost by first converting the wattage to kilowatts (since electricity is billed per kilowatt-hour), then multiplying by the number of hours of usage, and finally by the cost per kilowatt-hour.

For example, if your equipment uses 50 watts and runs for 8 hours a day, and electricity costs $0.15 per kWh, the daily cost would be calculated as follows:

(50 W × 8 h × 0.001) × $0.15/kWh = $0.06 per day
