Fan Electricity Cost Calculator
Estimate how much your ceiling fans are contributing to your monthly electricity bill.
For whole-home savings, count every fan
One fan may not look expensive, but three or four fans running every night can add meaningful monthly units. Use the fan count field to estimate the whole room or whole house instead of only one ceiling fan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many watts is a standard ceiling fan?
A standard old induction-motor ceiling fan consumes between 70 to 80 watts. Modern energy-efficient BLDC fans consume only 28 to 35 watts.
Does keeping the fan at speed 1 save electricity?
If your fan uses an old electronic regulator (resistor-based), speed 1 does NOT save much electricity—the excess power is just wasted as heat. However, modern electronic or step regulators and BLDC fans DO save electricity at lower speeds.
How much does a fan cost to run for 24 hours?
A 75W fan running for 24 hours consumes 1.8 units of electricity. At ₹8 per unit, it costs about ₹14.40 per day.
