Watts x hours/1000 = Kwh
Kwh x your electricity cost ($/Kwh) = $
For example:
If you run a 60 watt light bulb for 8 hours and your electricity rate is $0.12/Kwh:
60 x 8 / 1000 = 0.48 Kwh x $0.12 $/Kwh = $0.576, or about 6 cents.
This calculation works for any appliance, the watt usage is usually listed on the appliance
