You have to consider many factors when you are deciding between Inverter and Standard. For example, comparatively Inverters keep the cooling rate constant and uniform, which is more comforting than the Standard one. However this page only compares the pricing difference and electricity units and helps you decide whether its 'worth' to buy an Inverter or not.

Usually Inverters are said to be 30% - 40% power efficient than non inverter ones. In below calculations, it assumes that Inverters are 20% efficient than Standard ones. You can change this parameter if you know the efficiency.

How many hours you are going to use the AC for?

How many days in an year you are going to use the AC? 4 months? 8 months?

How much you will be charged for per unit of electricity? Default value here is 6 Rs.

Usually Inverter AC are said to consume 30% - 40% less energy than Standard ones. However they are tested in factory conditions and usually you won't get same power efficiency. (Have you ever gotten same mileage as your Car manufacturer claim?). So if you know and sure about it, you can change the efficiency parameter here. By default, 20% is considered i.e. You would consume 20% less units compared to Standard one.

Power consumption of ACs are usually mentioned in Watts on the product page. For example, this Voltas 1.5 Ton AC has power consumption mentioned as 1438 Watts

Enter the cost of AC here. Inverter ACs are usually cost more compared to standard ones.
