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.

Per day1.8kWh
Per 30 days54kWh
Per year657kWh

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.
