Grocery cold cabinet energy log calculator

Calculate cabinet [name,kWh,kWh/day,kWh/open hour,cost] and total energy cost with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Choose the currency for these amounts. Changing it keeps your numbers and does not convert exchange rates.

Use cabinet [name,kWh,kWh/day,kWh/open hour,cost] and total energy cost to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Cabinet [name,kWh,kWh/day,kWh/open hour,cost] (JSON) (USD)

Subtract cumulative meters; divide by elapsed days and opening hours; multiply energy by entered tariff.

Total energy cost (USD)

Sum cabinet costs rounded per cabinet.

Symbols and units

Energy tariff (USD/kWh)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Observed cumulative electricity meters without reset; tariff is user-entered. Supported limits: All numeric inputs and computed intermediates must remain finite. Supported numeric input magnitude is zero or 1e-12 through 1e12 in absolute value; reject values outside this bounded range. All lists/JSON record tables are limited to 100 records unless a stricter bound is stated; reject malformed record arity and wrong member types. End meter>=start, elapsed days>0, opening hours/day in (0,24]; no reset or rollover.
Are these inputs private?
