Energy Cost per Part Calculator

What this tool does

Energy per part is small enough to be ignored on a single job and large enough to matter over a year, which is exactly why it gets overlooked. Working it out once gives you a number to compare against a faster cycle, a smaller machine or a different process.

Formula

cost/piece = power × cycle time × price ÷ pieces per cycle

Variables

Limitations

• The result is an estimate based only on the values you type. Real situations often include factors this calculator does not know about.
• The tool works with whatever currency you use for the inputs; it does not convert between currencies.
