Understanding how energy is used in your home is the first step toward managing your energy costs. Enter how many of each item you have in each room and the approximate hours per week that the item is used. For time periods shorter than one hour, enter a decimal (eg: 15 minutes = 0.25). Note that you don't have to fill out the entire form - you can simply see what your toaster costs you a month. This calculator uses a kilowatt-hour rate of 8.085 cents.
