Look on the dryers nameplate for the actual wattage. Lets assume that it is 7200 watts. You pay for electricity by the killowatt/hour. So you are using 7200 of 7.2 Kw/Hr. Look on your power bill and it should tell you how much they are charging you per Kw/Hr. It could be .04 to .15 (who knows). Mine is .06 cents per Kw/Hr. Calculate .06 x 7.2 = .432 cents/hour
