Energy savings calculator

Calculate the estimated running costs of your appliances and find out how to save money by cutting down your usage.
How much do your appliances cost to run?
Select an appliance from the list and adjust how many hours per day you use that appliance (on average).

To calculate the cost to run your appliance, we’ve provided the watts (the amount of energy an appliance uses) for common appliances in the home. The actual wattage required for your appliances may differ from those listed and you can adjust the watts accordingly. This information is usually located on the back of the appliance and in the user manual.
You can adjust the watts according to your product.
You can adjust the hours according to your usage.
Savings provided should be used as a guide only. Figures are calculated using average residential customer consumption patterns and the current A2 residential tariff rate. Always consider the energy star rating when purchasing new appliances. Visit www.energyrating.gov.au to view energy labelling for equipment and appliances. Heating and cooling your home usually contribute the most to your electricity bill; in fact, on average 40 per cent of our customers’ electricity costs each year goes on air-conditioning.
