Watts to kWh Calculator

Convert watts to kilowatt-hours — or kWh back to watts — by setting how long the load runs. kWh is the energy unit your utility bills, so this turns an appliance's wattage into the energy it uses. To put a dollar figure on it, jump to the electricity cost calculator.

Energy (kWh) = power (W) × hours ÷ 1,000. To turn kWh into a dollar figure at your electricity rate, use the electricity cost calculator linked below.

Frequently asked questions

Kilowatt-hours = watts × hours ÷ 1,000. A watt is a rate of power; a kilowatt-hour is energy used over time. Example: a 1,500-watt heater running 4 hours uses 1,500 × 4 ÷ 1,000 = 6 kWh.
