And no Mups, I don't reboil it next time, I use a fresh lot.

Re: How much water in your kettle
Just enough for whoever wants a drink. Mostly though, it's usually me on my own in the house, so just enough for one cup each time.One time when I was moving, and those leccy certificates (can't remember the name) started to be a necessity, the chap asked about the kettle usage in conversation.
It was a warm house so I rarely had the CH on even for hot water (the shower was electric so didn't need water from the boiler).
Whenever I washed the pots, I figured it was economical to fill a kettle for washing up instead of the putting the boiler on for the hot water. He said 'No! that's more expensive then having water from the boiler'

Do you just put enough in for a cuppa or are you like my husband and need the kettle full, I've no idea why he does it, he does suffer OCD so maybe its to do with that.
However if I anm making tea (which is most of the time) then you need the extra water to heat the pot first before adding the leaves, so even if I am using my small teapot then I need to heat at least a litre.

Depending on your energy rate, likely to be less than a penny.
Not saying it's a good thing to do but there are likely other things you could do to save more.
Personally I have at least 10 cups of tea a day but whether the saving is worth the effort i suppose depends on your circumstances however we are now on Level 1 water restrictions so saving water is worth the effort
