How is the cost calculated?
Rated power in watts is converted to kilowatts, then multiplied by the time used in hours. That gives an estimated kWh figure for one use.
This is a simple estimate. Appliances with thermostats or variable power may draw less than their maximum rated wattage for part of the time.
