Generator?

Can someone tell me the formula to calculate what size generator I would need to run my equipment?

Do I just need the number of amps the motor draws or is it more involved?

The largest tool would be my 1hp electric eel.

I want to buy a generator and just don't want to have to buy/return multiple times till i find which size i need.

Thanks for any help/insight.
