Disclaimer: Values given shouldn't be used as final and this calculator should only be used a rough guide. It's also worth noting that rated values for items will not be constant. Example a TV rated at 200 watt will not constanly drain 200 watts, this is only a max value and actuall consumption will vary with TV brightness etc. So in otherwords, figures are worse case scenarios.
