What is the Electricity Cost Calculator?
The electricity cost calculator computes the electricity costs of a device or your entire household based on consumption and electricity price.
How does the Electricity Cost Calculator work?
Enter the device power (watts) and usage duration. The calculator determines consumption in kWh and multiplies by the electricity price. For the household the annual consumption is multiplied by the kWh price.
Key Data and Facts
Average electricity price 2026: approx. 35-40 ct/kWh. Average consumption 2-person household: approx. 2,500-3,000 kWh/year. Electricity price cap expired since 2024.
Step-by-Step Guide
How to calculate Stromkosten step by step: 1. Geraet identifizieren: Lesen Sie die Leistungsaufnahme in Watt vom Typenschild oder der Bedienungsanleitung ab. Beispiel: Waschmaschine 2.000 W, LED-Lampe 10 W, Kuehlschrank 100 W. 2. Taegliche Nutzungsdauer schaetzen: Wie viele hours pro day laeuft das Geraet? Bei Geraeten im Standby zaehlt auch der Standby-Verbrauch (oft 0,5-5 W). 3. Verbrauch calculate: kWh = Leistung (W) x hours pro day x 365 days / 1.000. 4. costs calculate: Jahreskosten = kWh x Strompreis (ca. 0,37 EUR/kWh in 2026). 5. Fuer den gesamten Haushalt: Lesen Sie den Zaehlerstand ab oder nutzen Sie den Jahresverbrauch von der letzten Abrechnung. Jahreskosten = Jahresverbrauch (kWh) x Strompreis. 6. Einsparpotenzial pruefen: Alte Geraete durch effizientere ersetzen, Standby vermeiden, LED-Beleuchtung nutzen.
Calculation Example
Waschmaschine 2.000 W, 1 hour pro day, 200 Waschgaenge/year: 2.000 x 1 x 200 / 1.000 = 400 kWh. costs: 400 x 0,37 EUR = 148 EUR/year.
