It may be on the instruction manual (not always though).

I have used the following figures

Washing m/c 0.08kWH x 0.09 (avg figure) = about £0.08 per hour
Dishwasher 1.4kWH x 0.09 = about £0.13 per hour

Depends on machine and programme.

My Washing machine uses between 0.4kwh(easycare 40C for 2.5kg) and 1.9kWh (for Cottons 90C for 5kg with a pre-wash) say 4p to 19p a wash -assuming electricity @10p/kWh

The 3 most frequently used programmes use 0.6kWh - 6 pence.

Dishwasher uses 1.5kWh - 15 pence

Both cold fill.
