Planning estimate. Your utility’s tariff, taxes, tiers and adjustments control the actual bill.

FORMULABill = kWh × price per kWh + fixed charge
IMPORTANT LIMIT

Tiered pricing, taxes, fuel adjustments and time-of-use plans can change the actual total.

HOW TO USE IT

Copy the bill’s units first.

Match every field to the unit printed on your statement. Use the current billing period, preserve fixed charges, and compare a similar number of service days.

For a stronger estimate

  1. Use the exact rate from your bill instead of a reference average.
  2. Keep taxes, credits and past-due balances separate.
  3. Check tiers or time-of-use windows in the utility tariff.
