Power Supply Efficiency Calculator

Determine PSU efficiency by comparing output to input power.

Power delivered to components
Power drawn from the wall

Approximate values; check manufacturer specifications.

Examples

  • Output 400 W, Input 500 W ⇒ 80%
  • Output 300 W, Input 360 W ⇒ 83.33%
  • Output 600 W, Input 750 W ⇒ 80%

FAQ

Why is efficiency important?

Higher efficiency reduces wasted energy.

Can efficiency exceed 100%?

No, it's always below 100%.

Do ratings vary with load?

Yes, efficiency changes depending on load.

Is this for AC to DC supplies?

Yes, it's commonly used for PSU comparisons.

Additional Information

  • Efficiency = (output ÷ input) × 100.
  • Higher efficiency reduces wasted energy and heat.
  • Actual efficiency varies with load and operating conditions.
