Four formulas
How is the total calculated?
The calculator separates purchase, recurring charges and electricity so each assumption can be changed.
Annual kWh equals watts times units, hours per night, nights per year and the share at full power, divided by 1,000. Watts are the maker's maximum draw; units counts powered devices. Annual electricity cost equals kWh times the state rate in cents, divided by 100.
Total cost adds purchase price, subscription charges for the selected years, annual electricity times ownership years, and cleaner from year two. Per-night cost divides that total by ownership years times nights per year. These are this site's estimates, not measured household bills.

kWh a year
watts × units × hours × nights × share at full power ÷ 1,000
- 2
Electricity a year

- 3
Total
price + subscription + years × electricity + cleaner from year 2

total ÷ (years × nights)
Worked example
What does a Queen setup cost?
A plus sign marks an incomplete total: that maker does not publish power draw, so electricity is excluded.
For a Queen with one hot and one cold sleeper in California, this site's five-year estimates use prices listed on each maker's store on October 17, 2026. BedJet Dual Zone adds $969 hardware and up to $388 electricity: $1,357.
Chilipad 2.0 adds $2,998 hardware, up to $2,719 electricity and $768 cleaner: $6,485. Pod 6 adds $2,899 hardware, $1,495 Autopilot and up to $2,670 electricity: $7,064. All assume 8 hours for 365 nights annually. BedJet uses cooling-mode power; heating is not budgeted.

How we count
kWh a year = watts × units × hours × nights × share of the night at full power ÷ 1,000
Electricity a year = kWh × your state’s rate in cents ÷ 100
Total = price + subscription years + years × electricity + consumables from year 2
Per night = total ÷ (years × nights a year)
State rates
Why does your state change running costs?
The EIA's January–July 2026 residential averages are 33.25¢ per kWh in California, 16.06¢ in Texas and 15.30¢ in Florida. The same electricity use costs more in California; hardware and subscription charges do not change.
Using those rates, this site estimates Chilipad 2.0 electricity at up to $544 annually in California versus $263 in Texas. The table's BedJet row counts one unit, not the Dual Zone pair.
State rates change only the electricity portion, not the whole ownership total.
| System | California | Texas | Florida | U.S. average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BedJet 3 · one unit | $39 | $19 | $18 | $21 |
| Chilipad 2.0 · Two Sleepers, Queen | $544 | $263 | $250 | $297 |
| Eight Sleep Pod 6 Standard · Queen | $534 | $258 | $246 | $292 |
Share of the night
What does the full-power slider change?
The default is 100% because makers publish maximum power, not average overnight use. It gives an electricity upper bound. Eight Sleep says holding a temperature takes less energy than reaching it.
Setting 50% halves estimated electricity, not hardware, subscriptions or cleaner. This site's five-year California estimate for Chilipad 2.0 falls from up to $6,485 to $5,125 under that assumption. The slider is a scenario, not a measured operating pattern.
A lower full-power share reduces the electricity estimate without changing fixed costs.

Eight Sleep years
Must Autopilot continue every year?
Eight Sleep requires Autopilot for the first 12 months and allows cancellation afterward. Enhanced costs $299 annually and covers two users per Pod. The calculator lets subscription years differ from ownership years.
For Queen in California, this site's five-year upper-bound estimate is $7,064 with Enhanced every year, or $5,868 with only the required first year. See the Autopilot subscription guide before choosing a renewal assumption.
Five years of ownership does not require five years of Autopilot payments.
| Autopilot | 5-year total | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| Every year | $7,064 | $1,413 |
| First 12 months only | $5,868 | $1,174 |
Not in the total
What is outside the total?
Use the total as a comparison budget, not a checkout quote or a complete household spending forecast.
The calculator excludes sales tax, shipping, promo codes, HSA/FSA savings and changes to the air-conditioning bill. It does not credit air-conditioning savings because there is no independent savings estimate to apply.
Unpublished running costs remain unknown, not free. Sleepme requires distilled water for Chilipad upkeep; that cost is not included. Cleaner is counted using Sleepme's stated included-supply value, rather than a captured replacement-pack price.
