Bill estimator

Estimate a monthly electric bill

Estimated bill$180.96
Energy charges$165.96
Daily average$6.03

What this estimate includes

The energy portion multiplies monthly kilowatt-hours by the price per kilowatt-hour. A separate fixed-charge input lets you include a basic monthly customer charge.

What it does not include automatically

Tiered rates, time-of-use periods, fuel adjustments, demand charges, minimum bills, taxes, credits, and solar export compensation require a utility-specific model. Use the final amount and kWh from a real bill to calculate an all-in historical price.

State averages are a comparison tool

EIA prices divide residential utility revenue by residential electricity sales. They describe an average outcome across the state, not the rate offered to every household. Monthly averages can also move with seasonality.
