Energy Usage Calculation Formula

To calculate energy consumption follow this simple formula. Energy (E) in kilowatt-hours (kWh) is equal to the power (P) in watts (W) multiplied by the number of hours used (t) per day divided by 1,000 watts per kilowatt. 

E(kWh/day) = P(W) × t(h/day) / 1000(W/kW)
