Electricity bill estimator
Estimate the energy portion of your monthly bill from your usage and your state’s average residential rate — basic mode, with the sources behind it.
Your inputs
Your estimated bill — a range, confidence, and the sources behind it — will appear here.
How it works
We multiply your monthly kWh by your state’s average residential electricity rate: energy bill = monthly kWh × rate. This basic mode does not include fixed monthly charges, taxes, or tiered/time-of-use pricing — see the full methodology.

Frequently asked questions
Does this include taxes and fixed charges?
No — this basic mode estimates only the energy portion (kWh × rate). Fixed monthly charges, taxes, and tiered/time-of-use pricing are not modeled, and we say so on every result.
Where do I find my kWh?
On a recent electricity bill, usually labeled “kWh used.” You can also estimate it — tick the box and we widen the range and lower confidence accordingly.
Why isn’t confidence “High”?
Because we use your state’s average rate rather than your exact utility tariff. Confidence is capped at Medium until a specific tariff is identified.
