To calculate your operating costs per year multiply the number of amps your
motor uses per hour, by the voltage, by the number of hours you run it per year
(if you run it 24/7 then use 8,760 hours per year), then divide by 1,000 to
convert it to kilowatts, then multiply by your cost per kilowatt-hour.
Amps x 115 volts x 8,760/1,000 x
$/kilowatt-hr = $ operating costs per year
Shown below is a table for the operating costs savings per
year:
