SMALL CALCULATIONS. CLEARER DECISIONS.
Understand your bill, estimate an appliance’s running cost, and compare two simple plan structures before taking the next step.
These tools calculate estimates from the figures you enter. They do not retrieve utility accounts, show live electricity offers, or confirm savings. Inputs stay on this page and are not saved or submitted.
UNDERSTAND YOUR BILL
Divide your current electricity charges by the energy you used to find your effective average rate for that billing period.
The result includes whatever charges you enter. It is an effective bill average, not necessarily your contracted energy rate or the EFL’s advertised average price.
EXPLORE YOUR USAGE
Estimate energy consumption from wattage and running time. Use measured power when possible; many appliances cycle on and off.
Assumes constant wattage during the running time entered. Fixed monthly charges, usage tiers, credits, taxes and standby power are excluded. An average bill rate gives only a rough estimate of incremental cost.
COMPARE SIMPLE PLAN STRUCTURES
Use the same monthly usage for both plans. Enter each plan’s combined usage-based charges and fixed monthly charges from its documents.
For simple flat-rate structures only. Include applicable delivery charges once. Do not use an advertised average EFL rate and then add charges already included in it. Bill credits, tiers, time-of-use pricing, taxes, deposits and termination fees are excluded. Verify the full EFL before enrolling.
