Simple Electricity Calculator


Ever wondered how your appliance use adds up?  What impact does that old fridge or that new energy-efficient dishwasher have on your electricity bill?  Find out with EPCOR's simple Electricity Calculator!


Once you've entered your bill information:
    1. Click the Calculate button.
    2. Below that, you will see each of the appliances you entered, with the estimated cost and percentage of your electricity bill.  If you would like to change any or all of the values, go back up and change the value or click Reset to start over. 
      • If your total is less than 100%, there are likely other appliances not included in the calculator drawing electricity, or you may have underestimated your usage. 
      • If your total is greater than 100%, you may have overestimated your usage.


This tool is intended to be an estimate only, designed to assist you in seeing where you can reduce usage and improve energy efficiency in your home. Calculations are based on EPCOR's Regulated Rate Tariff for residential customers.

Enter the total amount from your Electricity Bill.
