Formula: P × hours/day ÷ 1000 ⇒ kWh/day
C_month = C_day × 30.4375 • C_year = C_day × 365.25

Step-by-step derivation
1) Convert power to kilowatts: P_kW = P_W / 1000 2) Daily hours: h_day (user input) 3) Daily energy: E_day(kWh) = P_kW × h_day 4) Daily cost: C_day = E_day × price_per_kWh 5) Monthly cost: C_month = C_day × Days_month 6) Annual cost: C_year = C_day × Days_year
