Frequently Asked Questions - Electricity Bill Calculator
Simple rates charge a fixed price per kWh for all electricity used. Tiered rates have different prices for different usage levels (e.g., first 100 kWh at $0.10, next 200 kWh at $0.15). Tiered systems often encourage conservation by charging more for higher usage levels.
Time-of-use billing charges different rates based on when you use electricity. Peak hours (typically 4-9 PM) have higher rates, while off-peak hours have lower rates. This encourages usage during times when demand is lower, helping balance the electrical grid.
Demand charges are based on your peak power usage (measured in kW) during the billing period, typically for commercial customers. If your highest usage in any 15-minute interval was 20 kW and the demand rate is $15/kW, you'd pay $300 in demand charges regardless of total energy consumption.
Common additional charges include: fixed monthly service fees, delivery charges, transmission fees, renewable energy surcharges, regulatory fees, and taxes. These can add 20-40% to your base energy costs, so it's important to include them for accurate bill estimates.
Strategies include: using energy-efficient appliances, shifting usage to off-peak hours (for time-of-use rates), improving insulation, using programmable thermostats, unplugging devices when not in use, and considering solar panels or battery storage systems to reduce grid dependence.
