Find out how much electricity your kettle consumes instantly!
Boiling water is a daily necessity, whether it’s for tea, coffee, or cooking. But have you ever wondered how much electricity your kettle actually consumes? With rising energy costs, understanding your kettle’s power usage can help you save money and reduce unnecessary energy waste.
Our Kettle Instant Power Consumption Calculator makes it easy to estimate your kettle’s energy consumption and cost based on its wattage and usage time.
Electric kettles typically range between 1500W and 3000W. The exact wattage depends on:
Most household kettles operate between 1800W and 2200W, balancing fast boiling and energy efficiency.
A high-wattage kettle may seem to consume more electricity, but that’s not necessarily true. Here’s why:
Kettles use a significant amount of power, but only for short durations. You can calculate energy consumption with this formula:
Power Consumption (kWh) = (Power Rating (W) × Usage Duration
(minutes)) ÷ 60,000
For example, if you have a 2000W kettle and use it for 3 minutes: (2000 × 3) ÷ 60,000 = 0.1 kWh.
Kettles consume a lot of power but for short periods, making them one of the most efficient ways to boil water. However, if you use your kettle frequently, small energy savings can add up over time.
