Watt-Hour Calculator

Your details

Choose how you want to calculate. "Watts x time" covers appliances and devices. "Volts x Ah" converts battery ratings. "Battery runtime" tells you how long a battery lasts at a given load.
The rated power of the device in watts. Check the label or spec sheet.
W
How many hours the device runs per day (or per session).
h
Your utility rate per kilowatt-hour. The US average is about $0.16/kWh; check your bill for your exact figure.
USD/kWh
Used to project monthly electricity cost.

Energy: 480.0 Wh (0.4800 kWh)

  • Running a 60 W device for 8 h uses 480.0 Wh, which is 0.480 kWh.
  • At $0.16/kWh that costs about $2.30 per month.
  • Compare the watt-hours to your battery bank or solar panel output to see how many hours of sun you need to offset this load.
