Electricity & Energy Calculators

Run-cost, appliance, and solar math in plain dollars — what a device costs, what a system makes, and your bill line by line.

36 free calculators · updated August 2026

Watts describe a rate; kilowatt-hours describe accumulated energy. Electricity Usage Calculator connects them through run time, while Electricity Cost Calculator adds a rate and Energy Bill Estimator adds fixed charges and tax. For capacity decisions, Watts to Amps Calculator concerns circuit current, Generator Size Calculator includes running load and starting surge, and Battery Life Calculator depends on usable capacity rather than label capacity alone. Solar Panel Output Calculator estimates production; Solar Panel Count Calculator works backward from consumption. Start with the quantity you know and the decision you need to make.

Volts to Watts Calculator

Watts from volts and amps — for battery, automotive 12 V, and solar-string systems where voltage is known.

Open calculator →

Watts to Volts Calculator

Back out an unknown supply voltage from a measured load — the third leg of the W = V × A triangle.

Open calculator →

Battery Life Calculator

Runtime from capacity, load, and usable depth of discharge — lead-acid 50%, lithium 80%.

Open calculator →

Battery Watt-Hours Calculator

Amp-hours × volts to watt-hours — the only fair way to compare batteries of different voltages.

Open calculator →

Generator Size Calculator

The right generator wattage — running watts plus one starting surge, with 20% headroom.

Open calculator →

EV Charging Cost Calculator

What it costs to charge — battery size, the 20–80% window, your rate, and charging losses.

Open calculator →

Heating Cost Calculator

What electric heating costs to run — and why every 1,500 W resistance heater costs the same.

Open calculator →

Solar Battery Bank Size Calculator

Size an off-grid or backup battery bank — usage, days of autonomy, voltage, and usable depth.

Open calculator →

Watt to kWh Calculator

Turn watts and hours into kilowatt-hours — the building block behind every cost calc.

Open calculator →

Energy Savings Calculator

Dollars saved by replacing a device with an efficient one — annual, monthly, and kWh.

Open calculator →

LED Savings Calculator

What a whole-house switch to LED bulbs saves — by bulb count, wattage, and hours.

Open calculator →

Power Factor Calculator

Power factor and reactive power from real watts and apparent VA — the power triangle.

Open calculator →

Voltage Drop Calculator

Voltage lost over a wire run — current, distance, gauge, with the 3%/5% verdict.

Open calculator →

Electricity Usage Calculator

How much energy a device uses — watts, hours, and days to kWh, no dollars.

Open calculator →

Cost Per kWh Calculator

Your true all-in electricity rate — divide a bill total by the kWh used.

Open calculator →

Heat Pump Savings Calculator

What a heat pump saves vs resistance heat — the COP cuts the electricity to a fraction.

Open calculator →

Open calculator →

kWh to BTU Calculator

Convert kilowatt-hours to BTU — bridge the electric and heating/cooling worlds.

Open calculator →

BTU to Watts Calculator

Convert BTU per hour to watts — a power conversion, not the kWh one it gets confused with.

Open calculator →

BTU to kWh Calculator

Convert BTU to kilowatt-hours — turn a heat-energy figure into the energy your meter counts.

Open calculator →

Watts to BTU Calculator

Convert watts to BTU per hour — why a 1,500 W heater is also a 5,118 BTU/h heater.

Open calculator →
