How to find your electricity rate

Your electric bill lists your price per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Many bills split it into a supply charge and a delivery charge. Add them together to get your true rate. If you can't find it, divide your total bill by the kWh you used that month for a good estimate.

Why these calculators?

Most people know their electric bill went up but not why. The answer is almost always the same: anything that heats or cools. These tools show you exactly how much each one costs so you can decide what's worth changing.
