About the data
Electricity consumption depends heavily on the programme and temperature. Current energy labels state weighted consumption for 100 Eco 40–60 cycles.
Example using €0.35/kWh. This works out to approximately €0.21 per use, €2.73 per month and 93.6 kWh per year.
Your values
Washing machine electricity cost calculator
Adjust the suggested values to match your own device, electricity tariff and actual usage.
TinyTools uses typical values that you can adjust to match your usage.
Typical value – adjust it if you know a more accurate figure for your device or program.
You can find your electricity price on your electricity bill.
Decimal values are also possible, for example 0.5 for roughly every second week.

💡 Energy-saving tip
Use lower temperatures and eco programmes where suitable and wash with sensibly filled loads.
The calculation uses an adjustable typical value for electricity consumption per use. Actual consumption may vary depending on the device, program and usage.

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.
If your energy label states a value per 100 cycles, divide it by 100 and enter the result in TinyTools as consumption per use.
💡 Energy-saving tip for Washing machine
Use lower temperatures and eco programmes where suitable and wash with sensibly filled loads.
