Enter the total number of watt-hours and the total cost of electricity into the calculator to determine the cost per watt hour.

## Cost Per Watt Hour Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the Cost Per Watt Hour.

CPWH = EC / P

• Where CPWH is the cost per watt-hour ($/wh) • EC is the electricity cost ($)
• P is the total power in watt-hours

To calculate the cost per watt hour, divide the electricity cost by the number of watt-hours.

## What is Cost Per Watt Hour?

Definition:

A cost per watt hour is a unit of measure used to describe the cost per unit of power times time. Power times time in this case is watt-hours. This is used most often when looking at utilities and determine the cost per usage.

## How to Calculate Cost Per Watt Hour?

Example Problem:

The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate Cost Per Watt Hour.

First, determine the total electricity cost. In this example, the total electricity cost is $350.00. Next, determine the number of watt-hours. In this case, the watt-hours are found to be 10 wh. Finally, calculate the cost per watt hour using the formula above: CPWH = EC / P CPWH =$350 / 10

CPWH = \$35 / watt-hour
