Energy & Running Cost calculators

What it draws, what it costs to run, and what a solar or EV setup actually delivers.

A different question from the rest of the site, and usually a different person asking it. Not "will this be safe" but "what will this cost me".

The arithmetic is simple and almost everyone gets it wrong the same way — by forgetting the standing charge, the tiered blocks, the tax, or the charging losses you pay for and never receive.

The order you do it in
