Refrigerator electricity consumption calculator
Calculate how much electricity a refrigerator uses and its estimated monthly and yearly cost.
Calculate now →How much electricity does a refrigerator use?
A refrigerator runs throughout the day, but its compressor does not necessarily operate at maximum power for 24 hours.
Consumption depends on size, efficiency, temperature, age and usage conditions.
Use calculator with typical values →What do you need to calculate it?
Enter appliance power, usage hours, days per month and your approximate price per kWh. Add standby consumption separately if needed.
Tip for a real measurement
When possible, use an energy meter to replace the estimate with your own measured consumption.
Basic formula
Consumption (kWh) = power (W) ÷ 1000 × usage hours.
Cost = consumption (kWh) × electricity price.
