Clothes washers use a tub of water per load, not a flow rate like a shower. High-efficiency front-loaders often use about 15–20 gallons. Older top-loaders can use 30–40. Extra rinse cycles are extra tubs.
This is not the dryer’s electricity. It is not the washer motor. It is gallons. Save the power card and this card together if you want one laundry picture.
Hand-wash in a sink is a different fixture. A second rinse “because it still looks soapy” is the habit that doubles a load without doubling the clothes.
Pick the washer type and loads per week. Whatt turns that into a monthly volume estimate at your water rate.
At 5.00 per 1,000 gallons, five 20-gallon HE loads a week are 400 gallons a month — about 2.00 of volume. Five 40-gallon traditional loads are 800 gallons — about 4.00. Sewer charges, if any, are extra on a real bill.
