How this calculator works

Energy equals power in kilowatts multiplied by operating hours. Actual consumption can differ because of dimming, controls and power-supply losses.

Do not order from this estimate. Confirm dimensions, materials, permits, electrical requirements, access and written prices with qualified local suppliers.

Improve your budget

  • Measure the available sign area and viewing distance
  • Photograph the surface and installation access
  • Check landlord and local approval requirements
  • Separate fabrication, installation and electrical costs
  • Keep contingency until the site survey is complete
