Electricity cost calculator: frequently asked questions
How do I calculate electricity cost?
kWh = watts ÷ 1000 × hours. Cost = kWh × price per kWh.
How many watts does an AC use?
Split units often draw roughly 1,000–2,500 W while the compressor runs; check the label.
Where do I find my tariff?
On your utility bill. UAE utilities use tiered rates, so the marginal rate may be higher than the average.
Does the AC run continuously?
No. The compressor cycles on and off, so actual use is often less than hours × rated power.
How can I reduce cooling costs?
Set the thermostat around 24 °C, service filters regularly, and shade windows.
