How much might my electricity cost each month?
Estimate monthly kWh and electricity cost using a known bill rate or a clearly labeled editable planning assumption.
Estimate monthly electricity cost
Enter a known monthly usage and rate when available, or use the clearly labeled planning assumptions to create a first-pass scenario.
Why usage is a range
Weather, HVAC, insulation, appliances, household behavior, home size, and utility territory can change actual use. If you have a recent bill, use its kWh and effective rate instead of relying on the planning assumptions.
Questions people ask
Should I enter my utility rate?
Yes, when you know the rate on a bill or official utility document. The calculator uses the rate you enter directly and does not claim to know your utility territory price.
What if I do not know my rate?
The tool uses an editable planning-rate assumption and labels it as such. Replace it with your bill rate for a more useful scenario.
Why can electricity use vary so much?
Weather, heating and cooling equipment, insulation, appliances, household behavior, home size, and utility territory can all change usage.
