Power Consumption Calculator Uganda | Appliance Running Costs

Calculate how much each appliance costs to run in Uganda. Find the hidden power hogs in your home and cut your electricity bill.

Which appliance is secretly driving up your electricity bill? For most Ugandan homes, it is the fridge (runs 24/7), followed by electric irons, water heaters, and electric cookers. Our Power Consumption Calculator breaks down each appliance daily and monthly cost using real UEDCL 2026 rates. You will be surprised: that old fridge might be costing you UGX 50,000+/month. That electric kettle you use 5 times a day? UGX 30,000/month. See the full picture in 60 seconds.

Key Tips

Your Fridge is the Culprit

Fridges run 24/7 and are usually the #1 cost. An old fridge can cost UGX 75,000+/month. Check yours with the calculator.

Wattage Matters

Two kettles can differ by 1,000W. Higher wattage = faster boiling but higher peak draw. The calculator shows you the trade-off.

Target the Big 3

Fridge, water heater, and AC typically account for 60-70% of bills. Reduce usage on these three for maximum savings.

Uganda Power Calculator - FAQs

The biggest electricity consumers are: (1) Fridges and freezers (run 24/7, 100-300W). (2) Electric water heaters (1,500-3,000W). (3) Air conditioners (1,000-2,000W). (4) Electric cookers and ovens (1,500-2,000W). (5) Electric irons (1,000W, used daily). A fridge alone can cost UGX 30,000-90,000/month depending on size and efficiency.

The formula is simple: Watts x Hours per day x 30 days / 1,000 = kWh per month. Then multiply by your UEDCL tariff rate. But the tariff is tiered so it gets complicated. Our calculator does all this automatically: enter each appliance, its wattage, and daily usage hours. You get the exact monthly cost in UGX for each appliance and a total bill.

A typical 150W fridge running 24/7 uses 108 kWh/month. At the Tier 2 rate (412 UGX), that is UGX 44,496/month. An old fridge at 250W costs UGX 74,160/month. An efficient inverter fridge at 80W costs only UGX 23,731/month. That is why replacing your old fridge with an inverter model can save UGX 30,000-50,000 per month.
