About this calculator

This is the industrial-cost-planning version of the electricity cost calculator, designed for factory owners budgeting the running cost of a machine, production line or an entire shop's connected load, alongside other industrial cost tools like machine-hour rate and production cost.

Formula

Cost = Power(kW) × Hours/day × Days × Rate(₹/kWh)

kWLoad power — kilowatts
RateIndustrial electricity tariff — currency per kWh

Worked Example

Given: A 20 kW production line runs 10 hours/day, 26 days/month, at an industrial rate of ₹8/kWh.

Result: Monthly: 20×10×26×8 = ₹41,600. Annual: ₹4,99,200.

How to Use

Enter the total load power in kW.
Enter typical running hours per day and working days per month.
Enter your industrial electricity tariff (often a different, often higher, rate than domestic tariffs).
Click Calculate for daily, monthly and annual cost.

Important Assumptions

Industrial tariffs often include time-of-day rates, demand charges and power factor penalties not captured by this simple per-kWh calculation — check your actual electricity bill structure for full accuracy.

Common Mistakes

Using a domestic electricity rate instead of the actual industrial/commercial tariff, which is often significantly different.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is an industrial electricity tariff different from a domestic one?

Industrial tariffs commonly include separate energy charges, fixed/demand charges based on peak kVA, time-of-day pricing, and power factor penalties or incentives — all of which this simple calculator does not include.
