Formula for the “Electric Charge Cost Calculator”
To calculate the electric charge cost, we use the following formula:
Cost = Power × Time × Rate
Where:
- Power is in kilowatts (kW)
- Time is in hours (h)
- Rate is the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh)
So, the full formula becomes:
Cost (in currency) = Power (kW) × Time (hours) × Rate (per kWh)

What is an Electric Charge Cost Calculator?
An electric charge cost calculator helps users calculate how much money they spend on electricity. Users enter three values: power (in kW), time (in hours), and rate per kilowatt-hour. The calculator multiplies these values to show the total electricity cost. This tool is useful for home users, factory owners, and textile engineers.
Why Textile Engineers Use the Electric Charge Cost Calculator
Energy Use in Textile Factories
Textile factories run many machines such as looms, dyeing units, dryers, and compressors. These machines use a large amount of electricity. As a textile engineer, I check machine energy ratings and operation time. I calculate how much each machine costs per hour. This helps me manage factory expenses.
How to Use the Electric Charge Cost Calculator
Entering the Values
Users first enter the power of the device or machine in kilowatts. Then they enter the time used in hours. Finally, they enter the electricity rate per kWh. The calculator multiplies all three values to give the final cost.
Real-Life Example
In my factory, we use a dryer that runs on 3 kW power for 6 hours daily. The rate is 10 BDT per kWh. The calculator shows:
Cost = 3 × 6 × 10 = 180 BDT
So, we spend 180 BDT on that dryer daily. This data helps us cut costs by changing the running schedule or replacing machines with energy-saving ones.
Benefits for the Textile Industry and Home Use
Cost Control in Textile Production
Energy cost affects fabric price and overall profit. As a textile engineer, I use this calculator to estimate the monthly electric bill for each machine. This helps reduce unwanted expenses. I share these reports with the production team to guide energy-saving plans.
Smart Energy Use at Home
People can also use this calculator at home. For example, if someone uses a 1.5 kW iron for 2 hours daily at 7 BDT per kWh, the cost is:
1.5 × 2 × 7 = 21 BDT per day
This calculator shows the hidden cost of everyday devices. Users can save money by reducing device use or choosing low-power appliances.
Why Accurate Calculation Matters
Electric charge cost calculators give quick and clear results. In my daily work, I check monthly and yearly power costs using this tool. It helps create reports for upper management. It also supports future plans like buying solar panels or changing machines.
Reducing Machine Use During Peak Hours
In Bangladesh, power rates rise during peak hours. By using the calculator, we plan machine use outside peak time. This lowers our electricity bill.
Final Thoughts
This calculator is a smart tool for anyone who wants to control electric costs. Whether you run a textile mill or use power at home, it helps save money. The tool is easy to use and gives fast results. As a textile engineer, I use it daily to support cost-cutting and efficiency.
