Dishwasher Calculator

Find an ENERGY STAR® Dishwasher

Directions:
This calculator approximates the annual savings of an ENERGY STAR dishwasher compared to a non-qualifying dishwasher. To use this calculator, enter any of the following values from your dishwasher in the input area:

• the number of models
• the energy factor (If not know, please use default)
• the cost
• the estimated product life
• your electric rate (If not know, please use default)

If you know the kilowatt hours (kWh) per year and want to determine the energy factor, divide 264 cycles per year by the kilowatt hours per year. 264 cycles are the estimated cycles per year used by an average household. If you do not know any values, leave the default values since they are the national averages. Your annual operating costs, savings, and estimated payback period will appear below.
