There are two ways to find out a washing machine water consumption.
The first one it is to browse on the internet for the washing machine specifications. It is as simple as to use your favorite browser to search for the washing machine model followed by ‘specifications’ or ‘ water consumption’.
The second way is to take the water meter readings before and after a dishwasher cycle:
> Take note of the counters from your water meters
> Start the washing machine and make sure that during the whole cycle nothing else than the washing machine is using water
> After the cycle is finished, take again note of the counters from you water meters
> Substract the values and you will know how much water was used by the washing machine
If you are not sure how to read a water meter, we have prepared a YouTube video that should be of help.
The calculator below can be used to estimate the washing machine water cost per cycle and per year.
You just need to adjust the values in the PARAMETERS section to your requirements and the calculator will automatically display the RESULTS section.
To use the calculator you need to know how much you are paying for cubic meter, gallon or any other water measurement unit that it is used in your country.
If you don’t have this information, have a look to the information we provide below.
On your contract or water bill you should be able to find how much you are paying per every cubic meter or every gallon of water you use.
The water cost will depend on what country or city you live.
According to this water prizes survey article, the areas with the most expensive water are North America and Western Europe. While areas like South Asia, Middle East and North Africa have the cheapest water.
On to this other european cities water prize article, it can be appreciated the big prize difference between countries in Europe. From Italy with the cheapest water cost and 0.40 euro per cubic meter to Norway with the most expensive water at 5.51 euro per liter.
We know that not everyone uses liters so if you are from the US you can use this calculator to convert liters to US gallons.
Equally, if you are from the UK you can use this calculator to convert liters to UK gallons.

If you are looking for ideas to save water at home, have a look to this YouTube video were we show some useful tips to reduce the water usage at home and decrease the water bill.
Water conservation can be defined as the decision and the act of using less water
Water conservation both benefit you and the environment
The act of saving and conserving water does benefit you because you will be paying less on your water bills.
And it also does benefit the environment because conserving water prevents any unnecessary waste of natural resources.
Now, at individual level it may not look worth to try to save a few litres or gallons here or there.
Still, every little counts and if hundreds or thousands of us do save a little every time, it will make an important contribution towards conserving our natural resources.
If we could reduce our washing machines water usage, even a very small amount, it would make a big impact on preserving our natural resources.
For example, if 9000 households would manage to save as little as 5 liters of water per day:
> Collectively, we would be saving over 16,000,000 liters of water per year!
> Collectively, assuming a cost of 2 euro per cubic meter of water, we would be saving nearly 33,000 euro per year!
