Every input includes a simple explanation.
Private: the calculation runs in your browser. Your inputs are not sent to GharGanit.
Rated power can be different from average power while the appliance is running.
Voltage, automatic on-off cycling and equipment condition can change real use.
Use this as a budget estimate. The appliance label, how often it runs and all charges on your tariff determine the real bill.
The operating factor reduces the selected power level to an average over cooking time, reflecting normal cycling or lower-power intervals.
Time a representative meal and use the displayed power setting rather than the cooktop's maximum marketing wattage.
Do not assume induction efficiency makes electricity cost zero; the calculator still needs actual input energy and tariff.
Energy (kWh) = watts × quantity × hours × days × operating factor ÷ 1,000
