Appliance energy use (kWh per use) is sourced from Energy Saving Trust / Confused.com / Heatable running-cost guides, 2026 — the same figures used worldwide since it’s a property of the appliance, not the country. Priced at $0.165/kWh — EIA’s directly-published 2024 average US residential price (16.5c/kWh). Chart and figures start at typical default usage, then update live as you edit — your actual costs depend on your own habits and appliance model.
