And if so, how much? Less, same or more than if it was actually charging something?

I’m in the EU if that changes something.

    Yeah both the monitors and computers will consume a bit. Even a modern PC when turned off is in a type of deep sleep mode, for stuff like wake on LAN.

    The chargers will hardly even register anything, except maybe in some rare case where its a special one that is doing some sort of passive listening (like the PC’s)

      I think my monitors are rated at 0.5w each

      I actually think the biggest drain are the power strips with built in USB adapters. Maybe 1w each

        A funny culprit I found during my own investigation was the GFCI bathroom outlet, which draws an impressive 4W. The status light + whatever the trickle current it uses to do its function thus dwarfs the standby power of any other electronic device.
