[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 1112399, member: 16552"] This is a simplified formula, but it will get you real close.... a kilowatt is 1000 watts if you have a 100 watt bulb running 12 hours day, it's using 1200 watts/day = 1.2 kw x $.10/kw hour =.12/day to operate appliances will give you either wattage or amperage.... 6 amp refrigerator running on 110 v .....6 x 110 = 660 watts running for 5 hours/day (this is a guess, I've never timed how much one runs in a day) 5 x 660 = 3300 watts = 3.3 kw hours x $.10 /kw hour = $.33 / day x 30 days = $9.90 / month Hope this helps :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
