A Watt has no cost all by itself because a Watt is a unit which is used to measure a rate of using energy. Energy has to be supplied to equipment at a certain rate to make it do the work it was designed to do. Another way of saying the same thing is that something that does work needs to use energy at a certain rate. The equipment could be an electric motor, a light bulb etc. The equipment does not even have to be powered by electricity. If it was, say, a bicycle pedalled by a human being, it might need to be given one Watt of energy in a second to move it one yard of distance on a level road, or it may need 10 Watts of energy over 10 seconds to move it 100 yards. Depending on the steepness of the hill, it might need to be given 1000 Watts of energy (= 1 kiloWatt) to move it 100 yards up a slope in 10 seconds. Saying something "takes one Watt" is like saying "A person can eat one apple in a minute." It would not cost you anything to buy the apples until the person started eating and then it would cost you the price of one apple every minute or 60 apples every hour, for as long as the apples are being eaten. So, when you calculate the cost of supplying energy, you always have to reckon-in the time over which the energy units (Watts) are being used as well as the amount of Watts taken. Most electricity is charged by the kiloWatt-Hour (kWh is the usual term) So 1 Watt-Hour would cost 1 thousandth of the price of a kiloWatt-Hour. You can find the local price of a kiloWatt-Hour of electric power in any electricity bill.

∙ 6y agoThe cost of energy use is determined by Your "Tariff multiplied by Kilowatts used ".
the energy supply bill can provide the cost per kilowatt .
Then you can calculate the cost of one watt used - (kilowatts used divided by cost inc tax) = cost per ONE Kilowatt
The divide that cost by 100- = cost per watt.

∙ 12y agoI presume you mean 'one watt-hour'. In the UK it would cost about one hundredth of one British penny. They are usually charged by the thousand watt-hours (kilowatt-hours).

How much does it cost to run a 5 watts transformer?
If the transformer uses 5 watts per hour you need to know what you are paying per 1000 watts from your power company. If you pay lets say $3.00 for 1000 watts then when your transformer burns 1000 watts it cost you $3.00 your cost will be $3.00 for 200 hours run time.
How much does it cost to run a 75 watt CFL bulb?
the rule is.... run 100 watts 24/7 for 100.00/year. Your cfl will cost apx.75/year. However, while your cfl only uses 75 watts it is equivalent to apx 350 watts and produces a broad variety of colors in the spectrum making it great for growing!
How much does it cost to run electric 185 watts per hour?
185 watts will use up 185 watt-hours every hour. That is 0.185 kilowatt-hours each hour, costing about £0.03
How much would 310 watts of power cost at 120 volts?
Well, I pay about $0.13 for each kilowatt hour of electricity, so, at that rate it would cost between 3 and 4 cents per hour to run. If you ran the 310 watts for a year it would cost about $353 per year. Amazing how that adds up!
