Power consumption is measured, not calculated. In other words, your question means nothing without a frame of reference.

We use energymeter to measure power in KWhr. Eg. 10kw used for 1hr than its 10kwhr

Power is Watts.

Watts is Voltage times Current.

Watts over time is Kilowatt hours.

Google wikipeadia etc tell you this.
