    You do know that this is not nearly enough information to calculate that?
    How do you use your xbox? Which Xbox? ......

    Maybe you can use this calculation and fill in your numbers:

    if your xbox is rated 150 watt you can run it for 6 hours plus for the day time rate of 20p (thats like 3 pence per hour day time rate)

    How many hours do you usualy spend playing the xbox, what wattage is the display that it's using? are you using speakers?
    TBH the £30 ish a month is about average for me and i'm all electric(heating/boiler/cooker) and i have the PC on for around 12 hours a day.

    3 pence an hour during the day, 1,5 at night, if at full power.

    I see replacing the USD with £, using current cost values and multiplying with your average play/day is to much to ask.
    I tried to show you how to calculate it. You just have to do the exact same math with your numbers.

    Being autistic doesn't mean you can't do math..

    It's pocket change really..
    Why does it matter, unless it's on 24/7 using an application you'd barely notice a difference between it being on and off.
