Any clamp ammeter can be clamped around each circuit in your breaker panel and will give current measurements for that circuit. I have used my cheap chinese one extensively.... Generally available on

That's not hard to get a good estimate of how much an item is costing to run. But you'll have to do a little math and possibly know a couple of conversion factors. For starters: 1. 1KW = 1,000 watts
