Understand the calculation

How does TinyTools calculate electricity costs?

For this device, a consumption value per use is more useful than a simple calculation based on watts and runtime.

TinyTools therefore multiplies consumption per use by your electricity price and usage frequency.

kWh per use × electricity price × uses

If your energy label states a value per 100 cycles, divide it by 100 and enter the result in TinyTools as consumption per use.
