Best Answer

First you have to get the power rating of the equipment. My iron says "1000 Watts" or "1000 W", something like that; but some electrical equipment only states volts and amperes. If it does, multiply the two to get Watts. Next, convert that to kilowatts - for example, 1000 watts is 1 kilowatts (i.e., you divide by 1000). Finally, every kilowatt of power means that per hour, 1 kilowatt-hour is used. Since the electrical company charges you by the kilowatt-hour, that is quite appropriate as a final solution. To convert that to Dollars, Euros, or whatever, look at a bill from the electrical company, and figure out how much they charge you for every kWh (divide the total of the bill by the number of kWh used).
