One unit of electricity is a kilowatt-hour, i.e. one kilowatt times one hour. So a 1kW appliance will use 1kWh of energy every hour.

To find the cost per unit, insert your payment key into your electricity meter and press the display button several times to cycle through the various modes. At least one of them will be pence per kWh (there may be several rates for the various peak and off-peak times; your electricity supplier should have given you a leaflet explaining which rate applies when.)

My supplier charges about 14p for a kilowatt-hour in the daytime.
