How this is calculated
- Annual energy use is the figure ENERGY STAR lists for this model under typical test conditions. It is not measured in your home.
- Yearly cost = annual kWh × your rate. Monthly cost is the yearly cost divided by 12, a flat average. Five-year cost keeps the rate constant; prices will change.
- Statewide averages are not your utility’s tariff. Use your bill’s rate for a closer number.
- We do not estimate watts or hourly cost: the source data does not include them.

Among 297 ENERGY STAR certified standard models with a similar capacity (8 to 12 place settings), this one ranks 119th lowest in annual energy use.

Frequently asked questions
How much electricity does the Bosch SPE68C*** use?

How much does it cost to run?
At statewide average residential prices, the listed annual use costs about $30.53 in Louisiana and $115.20 in Hawaii (EIA, 2026-07). Your own utility rate may be different; enter it in the calculator.
How does the Bosch SPE68C*** compare with similar models?
Among 297 ENERGY STAR certified standard models with a similar capacity, it ranks 119th lowest in annual energy use. Its 240 kWh per year is the same as the median of 240 kWh.
How many place settings does it hold?
ENERGY STAR lists this model at 10 place settings. A place setting is the set of dishes and utensils one person uses for a meal. Compact dishwashers hold fewer than the standard size.
