Running cost

Hi can anyone help me calculate the running cost of my storage heater please. I have attached the spec and mine is the 125.
My tariff charges 10.67 ph on E7.
I really struggle to work out daily cost. 
TIA

    In reality it's likely to be lower unless the weather is really cold; it shouldn't need a full charge every night unless it's too small for the job.
    Just read the meter at the start of the cheap rate period and again after it finishes.  There will be some consumption by the fridge, freezer etc but that will be relatively minor.
