- Total

What could make your utility bill different?
This flat-rate estimate includes only the usage and charges entered. Tiered rates, time-of-use periods, demand charges, solar credits, minimum bills and previous balances can change the amount due. Fixed charges and taxes are dollar totals for this billing period; they are not multiplied by the number of days.
Check that your cents-per-kWh rate includes all applicable supply and delivery charges. Do not add a tax or fee twice if it is already included in that rate.
We record anonymous usage and charge figures tagged US/USD to report US and UK calculations separately. Raw meter readings are not sent. Your latest US usage and rate inputs are kept in this browser tab so the result can survive a refresh; clearing the result removes them.
