A VISIBLE METHOD

Your inputs.
The open math.

Defaults are clearly labeled. Rates and wattages are editable. Every result remains an estimate, with the variables that matter explained beside it.

Read the methodology →
  1. 01

    Use the label

    Start with a nameplate, manual, utility bill, or plug-meter reading.

  2. 02

    Describe real use

    Enter actual runtime, charging, season, or rate-window assumptions.

  3. 03

    Compare scenarios

    Change one assumption at a time and save useful results to your Home Energy Plan.

THE BILL IS A SYSTEM

Useful context, not false precision.

W

Power is not energy

Watts describe the rate of use. Kilowatt-hours combine that draw with time—the quantity your utility usually bills.

$

Your rate matters

National averages are context, not your local cost. Every electricity calculator lets you enter your own rate.

Homes behave differently

Climate, cycling, efficiency, delivery fees, habits, and equipment condition can materially change the final bill.
