The core formula kWh = watts ÷ 1,000 × hours

A kilowatt-hour measures energy, not power. Once you know kWh, multiply by your electricity price per kWh.

Understand kWh
Then price it Cost = kWh × your unit rate

Because tariffs differ by country, supplier and plan, EuroWattCalc asks for your own rate instead of pretending one price fits everyone.

Same maths. Different bills.

Use a country guide to see which number on your bill belongs in the calculator and which fixed charges sit outside the estimate.

Every European bill breaks down the same way

An energy price, sometimes a fixed subscription, and a set of network costs and taxes. What differs by country is who sets each part and what it's called.
