How to estimate induction cooktop correctly
The 1800 W and 1 h/day values are an editable example, not a claim about every model. This appliance is best treated as per-cycle use.
What to verify
The selected level, pan size and number of zones matter. The maximum plate rating is rarely drawn continuously.
Formula
Power (W) ÷ 1,000 × active hours × electricity rate. This example uses 1.8 kWh/day, 54 kWh/30 days and 657 kWh/year.
Accuracy limit
The calculator prices the values you enter. It cannot know thermostat cycles, power modes, losses, appliance condition or the exact tariff on your bill; verify those inputs for a decision.
