is costing you the most.

How we estimate your costs

Your costs are based on the average amount of power used by appliances - this is called their ‘power rating’. You can check the average power ratings for different appliances on the Centre for Sustainable Energy's website.

Your appliances might cost more or less to run. This is only an estimate - it's not accurate enough to help you calculate what your electricity bill should come to.
