Watts Calculator

Calculate watts from volts and amps, amps and ohms, or volts and ohms. This watts calculator estimates electrical power, milliwatts, kilowatts, watt-hours, kilowatt-hours, voltage, current, and resistance.

Calculate Watts

Watts formulas: W = V × A, W = A² × Ω, or W = V² ÷ Ω.

How the watts calculator works

Volts and amps:
Enter voltage and current. The calculator uses W = V × A.

Amps and ohms:
Enter current and resistance. The calculator uses W = A² × Ω.

Volts and ohms:
Enter voltage and resistance. The calculator uses W = V² ÷ Ω.

Why use a watts calculator?

A watts calculator helps estimate electrical power when you know volts, amps, or ohms.

It can help with appliance loads, electronics projects, battery planning, solar estimates, power supply sizing, circuit loads, energy estimates, and basic electrical troubleshooting.

What your result means

Your result shows estimated watts, milliwatts, kilowatts, watt-hours, kilowatt-hours, monthly energy estimate, voltage, current, resistance, formula used, wattage category, and comparison scenarios.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate watts?

Use W = V × A when you know volts and amps. Multiply volts by amps to get watts.

How do I calculate watts from amps and ohms?

Use W = A² × Ω. Square the amps, then multiply by ohms.

How do I calculate watts from volts and ohms?

Use W = V² ÷ Ω. Square the volts, then divide by ohms.

Are watts and watt-hours the same?

No. Watts measure power. Watt-hours measure energy used over a period of time.
