To calculate the annual cost of running a 40-watt 4ft fluorescent tube, you need to know the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour in your area. Usually, a 40-watt fluorescent tube is on for about 8 hours per day, so you would multiply the wattage (40) by the hours/day (8) to get watt-hours per day. Convert that to kilowatt-hours and then multiply by the number of days the light is on per year. Finally, multiply that by the cost per kilowatt-hour to get the annual cost.
