I know you can turn WiFi OFF, but if you do then some of the features will not be available. I have always kept WiFi ON with all my previous Kindles, and they all averaged 2 weeks or more between charges. So it looks like the light really sucks down the battery in a hurry.

I find that wifi is a huge drain on the Paperwhites.
I don't have specific numbers like other posters. However, my battery lasts approximately twice as long at respective light settings with the wifi off vs on.
