Pool pump cost calculator
How Much Does a Pool Pump Cost to Run?
Estimate pool pump electricity cost per day, month, and year using pump power, run time, and your electricity price.
Cost estimate
Calculate your electricity cost
Estimated energy use0 kWh/day
Estimated monthly energy0 kWh/month
Cost = watts ÷ 1,000 × hours used × electricity price.
Example
How the starting estimate works
At 1,500 watts for 8 hours per day, the starting example uses 12 kWh per day. Your pump label or controller can provide a better power figure.
Real-world use
Variable-speed pumps can change the answer a lot.
Pump power can vary substantially by speed setting and plumbing conditions. If your controller reports watts, use that actual value for the speed you normally run.
