That's simple, but not straightforward. You need to find the wattage rating on the fan itself. It's usually on the motor and may be in the manuals that came with the fan. If that's not possible, find a similar one in a shop and get the info there.

Then it's simple: multiply the watts X 24 hours / 1000. that gives you the kilowatt-hrs which is what you pay for- and your electric bill gives you this number.. usually about $.40 / kwh..

You could estimate it by looking at the average electricity consumption of ceiling fans and then look at your electric bill and what is the charge per kilowat used.

I am not sure why you would want to leave a ceiling fan on 24/7?

Somewhere on your fan (or in its instructions), you will find a value followed by W (watt), like 300W. This is the power the fan uses. To compare, a lightbulb uses 60 to 100W.

Multiply the value (in W) by 24 hours, to obtain a value in watt-hour. Divide by 1000 to get the value in kilowatt-hour (kWh).

Now check how much you paid last month, and how much, in kWh, you used. Divide the two values to know how much you pay for kWh.

Finally, multiply the price of the kWh by what your fan consumes (in kWh); there is the price.
