How we calculate Daily Running Costs for our Heated Anti-Fatigue Mats?

  1. Convert Electricity Rate from Kilowatt hour (kWh) to Watt hour (Wh):
    = kWh / 1000
    E.g. £0.30 / 1000 = £0.0003

  2. Calculate the Hourly Running Cost
    = Wh * Watts
    E.g. £0.0003 * 206 watts = £0.0618 per hour

  3. Multiply the Hourly Running Cost by the Operating Hours
    = Hourly Running Cost & Operating Hours
    E.g. £0.0618 per hour * 8 hours = £0.4944

    Therefore an 8 hour day at 206 average Watts per hour as per the University of Exeter Report equals £0.50 per day (rounded up).

How we calculate Cost Per 6 Month Winter for our Heated Anti-Fatigue Mats?

  1. Multiply the Running Cost Per Day by Days Per Week
    = Running Cost Per Day * Days Per Week
    E.g. (£0.4944 * 5) = £2.472

  2. Multiply the Running Cost Per Week by Weeks Per Year & Divide by Months Per Year)
    = (Running Cost Per Week * 52)/12
    E.g. (£2.472*52)/12 = £10.71

  3. Multiply the Cost Per Month by Number of Winter Months
    = Cost Per Month * Number of Winter Months
    £10.71 * 6 = £64.27

    ​Therefore an 6 month winter equals £65 per 6 month winter (rounded up).
