Pool Pump Electricity Cost Calculator
Estimate the monthly and annual electricity cost of a pool pump from its measured watts, schedule, and your utility rate.
Planning estimate—not a guarantee
Use product labels and your current utility rate. Actual energy use varies with equipment, settings, climate, condition, installation, provider charges, and behavior.

Calculation method
How this estimate is calculated
Annual cost = watts ÷ 1,000 × hours per day × operating days × rate
ENERGY STAR: Pool PumpsImportant assumptions
What can change the result
- The entered watts represent average power at the selected pump speed.
- Each operating day follows the entered schedule.
- Variable speeds, cleaning cycles, freeze protection, filter condition, and plumbing resistance can change power.
For the most useful estimate, use measurements from a plug-in energy monitor, connected charger, vehicle dashboard, or product energy label whenever available.
