Space Heater
1500W typical | 8.0h/day
Portable electric space heaters typically draw 750 to 3,000 watts. Most common models for a single room run at 1,500 W on their highest setting.
Calculate cost →Air Conditioner
2000W typical | 8.0h/day
Window and split-system air conditioners range from 1,000 W for small rooms to 4,000 W for large units. A mid-size 12,000 BTU unit draws roughly 2,000 W.
Calculate cost →Gaming PC
450W typical | 4.0h/day
A mid-range gaming PC draws 300-600 W under load, depending on the GPU and CPU. High-end systems with RTX 4090 GPUs can peak at 600 W or more.
Calculate cost →Tumble Dryer
3000W typical | 1.0h/day
Tumble dryers are among the most power-hungry household appliances, drawing 1,800-5,000 W. Heat pump models use roughly half the energy of conventional vented dryers.
Calculate cost →Dishwasher
1800W typical | 1.0h/day
Dishwashers typically draw 1,200-2,400 W per cycle, with most energy used to heat the water. Eco modes reduce both water and electricity consumption.
Calculate cost →Electric Oven
2200W typical | 1.0h/day
Electric ovens draw 2,000-2,400 W when actively heating. Fan-assisted ovens distribute heat more evenly, allowing you to cook at lower temperatures.

Understanding Your Electricity Costs Across Europe
Electricity prices vary dramatically across Europe. A household in Denmark might pay more than double what a household in Romania pays for the same amount of energy. This variation means that the cost of running an everyday appliance like a washing machine, space heater, or gaming PC can differ significantly depending on where you live. TrackMyEnergy helps you understand these costs by combining real electricity rate data with accurate appliance power consumption figures.
Our calculators use a straightforward formula: multiply the power consumption of your appliance (in kilowatts) by the number of hours you use it, then multiply by your electricity rate in euros per kilowatt-hour. The result is your running cost. While the formula is simple, knowing the right numbers to plug in is where most people get stuck. That is why each calculator comes pre-loaded with typical wattage ranges and usage patterns based on verified manufacturer specifications and household usage studies.
We source electricity rates from energy providers across 19 EU countries. Our automated scrapers collect tariff data weekly from providers in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden. For each country, we calculate the median rate across all available providers, giving you a realistic average that accounts for market variations.
Whether you are trying to estimate your heating costs for winter, figure out how much your gaming setup actually costs, or compare the running cost of an old appliance against a new energy-efficient model, our calculators provide the answers. Every calculation updates instantly as you adjust the inputs, so you can experiment with different scenarios: What if I reduce my daily usage by two hours? What if I switch to a lower-wattage model? What would my costs be if I moved to a country with cheaper electricity?
Beyond individual appliance calculators, TrackMyEnergy also offers EV charging cost calculators for 30 popular electric vehicle models, solar panel payback calculators using real solar irradiance data from the EU PVGIS database, and heat pump comparison calculators that weigh electricity-powered heat pumps against traditional gas boilers. Each calculator type is available for all 19 supported countries, giving you a comprehensive view of energy costs no matter where you are in Europe.
All calculations are estimates based on average electricity rates and typical usage patterns. Your actual costs will depend on your specific electricity tariff, the exact model and age of your appliance, local taxes and levies, and your personal usage habits. We recommend using our calculators as a starting point and adjusting the inputs to match your real-world situation for the most accurate results.
