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.

What does it cost to run a 5.8 amp motor at 120 volts?
Use the following formula to find the watts used. W = Amps x Volts. Divide that number by 1000. This will give you kWs. Determine how long the motor is to run and multiply this amount by the kilowatts you calculated. This will give you kW/hours. On your utility bill it will be stated how much you pay for a kW/h. Multiply that by your answer and you can estimate how much it costs you to operate the motor.
