LED Power & Operating Cost Calculator
Estimate LED display load, annual energy use and electricity cost from your screen size and the actual average and maximum power-density figures for the selected LED configuration.

Estimated LED-Only Power & Energy
What Is Included — and What Is Not
The calculation uses the LED display area and the power-density values you enter. It does not automatically add HVAC, processors, network equipment, audio, lighting or other project loads.
| Output | Formula |
|---|---|
| Area | screen width × screen height, converted internally to m² |
| Average LED load | area (m²) × average W/m² ÷ 1000 |
| Maximum LED load | area (m²) × maximum W/m² ÷ 1000 |
| Annual energy | average load (kW) × hours/day × days/year |
| Annual electricity cost | annual kWh × electricity price/kWh |
Maximum load is useful for electrical-design discussion; operating energy should be based on a realistic average-power assumption for the selected configuration and use pattern.
Use the Result as a Planning Input
Power and energy are part of the project, not the whole project. Electrical distribution, breaker/circuit design, heat removal, ventilation, redundancy and local code requirements still need qualified engineering review.
For a broader lifecycle-cost comparison, read the LED Display Cost, Installation Cost & TCO Guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the calculator ask me to enter average and maximum W/m²?
Because LED displays do not have one universal power figure. Product architecture, brightness, content and operating conditions can materially change power use.
Should I size electrical infrastructure from average power?
No. Do not use this operating-cost estimate as a substitute for electrical design. Electrical infrastructure should be checked against the project’s documented maximum load, power architecture, local code and engineering requirements.
Does this estimate include air-conditioning or ventilation?
No. It estimates the LED display load only. HVAC and other system loads depend on the site and must be evaluated separately.
Can I compare two LED products with this tool?
Yes, if you use verified average and maximum W/m² figures for each configuration and keep the screen area, operating schedule and electricity tariff consistent.
Need a Project Power Schedule?
Send JYVISIONS the screen size, product or pitch option, brightness requirement, operating schedule and site electrical conditions. We can provide project-specific load information for engineering review.
