    What Does It Cost

    Due to my Wife’s increasing dementia I have been forced to find out how to use the domestic appliances such as the washing machine, and in studying the handbook I came across a table that listed the electricity and water usage of each programme. My love for crunching numbers immediately made me wonder how much it cost to do the laundry and the results of my calculations is shown in the attached table.
    The figures are based on the most popular programmes, a full load, and on my current tariffs which are Electricity 19.9p kWh including VAT, Water £1.0778 Waste £0.9488 and refer to my machine.
    It is revealing to note how the costs vary between the programmes and the changing temperatures, clearly when time is not of the essence substantial differences occur in the costs, particularly when using the Eco button. Example it is 5.8 times more expensive to wash at 90C than at 20C.
