One calculator for running cost and cost per hour

Cost per hour is a direct view of the same power-and-rate relationship, so it is included here instead of being split into a thin duplicate page.

If you do not know the device power, check the representative appliance wattage lookup, then prefer the nameplate or manufacturer specification for your model.
