Formula and assumptions
How this calculation works.
Budget energy from your measured average input power, operating hours and entered tariff. Does not calculate electrical installation loads or select conductors, breakers or equipment. Energy kWh = Σ(measured average input kW × operating hours × equipment count); energy cost = kWh × entered USD/kWh + entered fixed charge.

Average electrical input power in kW, not output power or circuit design load. Operating hours already account for cycling; tariff and fixed costs are supplied.
Before you purchase
Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.
Counts quantities from an existing supplied specification. Does not design construction, certify safety, recommend application requirements or establish code compliance.
Example dimensions and product properties are illustrative arithmetic inputs only. Obtain actual yield, density and coverage from your selected supplier.
Monetary arithmetic uses decimal values. Quoted amounts round half-up to cents at the stated cost-line boundaries; measurements remain approximate.
Method: dimensional arithmetic and user-supplied specifications. Software checks: 2026-10-08. Calculation and review policy.
