Repair or replace: what will it really cost?

Enter a kitchen or laundry appliance and your state. We project its total cost of ownership, with a confidence range from thousands of simulated ownership paths, using electricity and gas prices fetched from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and price growth from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Sets the residential electricity and gas price from the latest EIA data.

Enter the price you paid, or the price new. Resale value is worked out from it and the age. To count only running and repair costs for an appliance you already own, enter 0.

From the yellow EnergyGuide label or the manual.

This calculator covers refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, ranges and microwaves. Projections are estimates: the results page names the fetched sources and the assumptions we author. Not financial advice.
