A real electricity calculator you can understand with no math!

Sticky me.

The calculator is an excel spreadsheet (within the zip file since rollitup doesnt permit .xls files for some reason). Change the $0.12 to your electric rate. If you see 0.11 on your utility bill for the rate add a penny to account for taxes and meter fees etc...

Its pre-set at $0.12 and has ranges from 100 watts of usage to 20,000 watts of usage already in a graph format.

Enjoy.

***** UPDATED ***** Download "electricity calculator 12-24hrs.zip" and it includes auto calculation for 12 hour and 24 hour cycles.

Thanks man, nice and simple!

Ur spreadsheet is based on usage of lights on 24hrs a day.. So its only good for those using CFLs in the early veg stage. I use MH 16hr a day wen in Veg, and HPS 10 hours a day wen im flowering, so the figures u provide are ll wrong for the average grower.. Sorry but no sticky here..

Its based on watts used per day. If you use the watts for 12 hours a day, then divide by two.

it shows the hourly rate on there, so you could work it out from there, for your suited light cycle. thats what il be doin

What about 18 hour? lol just stirin bro good on ya

Awsome. Thanks alot for this. It will come in handy.

This is pretty cool. It showed me that I can just move the decimal so 615 watts for the flower box is .615kw/h x 12hours x electric rate, and the same for the veg box but used 18 hours.

The thing that must be remembered is that most electric bills are billed on a scale. The "baseline" is what is billed at the regular rate which is close to $0.12/kwh. Then the kwh that exceed the baseline are billed at an additional charge based on the % above baseline. For me I would exceed the baseline if I was not even here it is so low. Once I started growing, I saw a new line on my bill "201%-300% baseline" which is billed at $0.24/kwh. The amount in this catagory (276kwh for Oct.) is very near my usage so I calculated with the 24 cent rate.

This allowed me to calculate cost per day for veg and flower and the combined cost per day x 63 days/6 flowering plants = $32 per plant for electricity at harvest. So with all the other spending the cost to grow is still probably under $2 a gram....nice perspective

Thanks everyone, glad yall like it.

Hold on, I'll say it before someone else does,


LIEK OMFG THERE IS TEH FUKIN VIRUSES!!1111
