How to Use This Calculator

This power consumption calculator helps you estimate your electricity usage and costs in Tamil Nadu. Simply enter your appliance details and the calculator will provide an estimate of your power consumption.

The calculator will display your estimated daily, weekly, and monthly power consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh) and the estimated cost based on Tamil Nadu's electricity rates.

Formula Used

The power consumption is calculated using the following formula:

Power Consumption (kWh) = (Wattage × Hours Used Daily) / 1000

For monthly consumption:

Monthly Consumption (kWh) = Daily Consumption × 30

The cost is calculated by multiplying the power consumption by the current electricity rate in Tamil Nadu.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the power consumption for a 100W fan used for 8 hours daily:

Daily Consumption = (100 × 8) / 1000 = 0.8 kWh
Monthly Consumption = 0.8 × 30 = 24 kWh

At the current Tamil Nadu electricity rate of ₹8 per kWh, the monthly cost would be:

Monthly Cost = 24 × 8 = ₹192
