What Does It Cost to Run a Toaster Oven in Vermont?
Running a toaster oven in Vermont costs about $2.76 a month — $33.62 a year — at the state's average rate of 24.56 ¢/kWh. That's roughly $7.17 a year more than a household paying the national average pays for the exact same toaster oven. The estimate assumes a typical 1,500-watt toaster oven running 0.25 hours/day, at the all-in average rate (delivery, fixed charges, and utility fees already included; locally billed taxes vary by area).

Toaster Oven cost vs U.S. average
At the state average rate, a toaster oven in Vermont costs $0.59 more a month than it would at the U.S. average rate.
How much electricity does a toaster oven use?
A toaster oven draws roughly 1,200-1,800 W; we use 1,500 watts running 0.25 hours/day. That comes to 0.38 kWh a day — 11.3 kWh a month, or 136.9 kWh over a year — using kWh = watts × hours ÷ 1000.
Toaster ovens use high wattage during use but typically run for short periods. More efficient than full-size ovens for small meals. Vermont prices that energy at 24.56 ¢/kWh, against a 19.32 ¢/kWh national average.

What changes the cost the most?
Two things move this number: your state's rate, which you can't change, and how hard the appliance works, which you often can. For a toaster oven, that mostly comes down to preheat time, temperature setting, daily use frequency.

Source & Method
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Retail Sales of Electricity. Updated: April 2026. Estimates use the EIA all-in average residential rate — energy, delivery, fixed charges, and utility fees together, not just the electricity itself. Fees are inside the rate, not an extra on top; how your own bill splits fixed versus per-kWh charges varies by utility.
