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 A$0.45/kWh — Derived from AER’s NSW (Ausgrid) 2026-27 reference bill (A$1,899 / ~4,200 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.
