True Cost Calculator EU

True Cost Calculator EU helps you compare what an appliance, vehicle, or electronic really costs over its full life — not just the sticker price you see at checkout. Enter the purchase price, choose a product category, select an EU energy label (A through G), and pick your country. The app estimates lifetime energy cost, typical repair cost, disposal cost, annual cost, monthly cost, and CO2 impact so you can compare two products on a like-for-like basis before buying. WHO THIS IS FOR: - EU shoppers comparing label A to label G on a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, dryer, oven, TV, laptop, smartphone, heat pump, air conditioner, electric vehicle, or e-bike — and unsure whether the higher upfront price actually pays back - Sustainability-conscious consumers who want to track grid CO2 intensity per country (a fridge in Sweden has a very different lifetime footprint than the same fridge in Poland) - Landlords and property managers furnishing rentals where total cost of ownership matters more than the cheapest sticker - Small businesses budgeting equipment refreshes — fleet of laptops, office air-con, commercial fridge, e-bike fleet for delivery - Climate-conscious households planning a heat-pump retrofit, EV switch, or appliance upgrade WHAT THE APP COVERS: - 12 product categories: washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, tumble dryer, oven, TV, laptop, smartphone, heating system, air conditioner, electric vehicle, e-bike - 18 EU countries with pinned electricity-price and grid-CO2 comparison snapshots - Energy labels A through G modelled as estimate multipliers around a category baseline - Lifetime energy use estimated from product category, label choice, and expected lifespan - Repair cost and disposal/end-of-life cost assumptions - Side-by-side product comparison (Premium) PREMIUM: One-time Premium unlocks side-by-side comparison and an ad-free experience. No subscription. No recurring charges. WHEN TO USE IT: In a store comparing two washing machines, scrolling online listings, deciding between a label C fridge today and a label A fridge that costs 30 percent more upfront, planning a heat-pump install, choosing between a petrol car and an EV, or simply checking whether the more efficient option pays back inside the appliance's expected life. IMPORTANT — INDEPENDENT INFORMATIONAL TOOL: True Cost Calculator EU produces estimates only. Real energy use, real repair costs, real disposal costs, real electricity tariffs, and real grid carbon intensity vary by model, household size, supplier contract, country, and year. Always verify against the official product energy label (EPREL database), the manufacturer warranty terms, your current retailer pricing, and your current local electricity tariff before making a purchase. This app is not affiliated with the European Commission, EPREL, the European Environment Agency, Eurostat, national energy regulators, retailers, utilities, or manufacturers. It is an independent consumer-information tool using local estimate assumptions and public official-source references. PRIVACY: No account required. No sign-up. All calculations run on your device. No bank login, no shopping-history tracking, no personal purchase profile, no behavioural advertising profile built from your inputs. (c) 2026 Cosmic Production d.o.o.
