Estimate your monthly electricity bill

Your household’s electricity usage 

The more electricity your household uses, the higher your bill is likely to be. Everyday activities such as running air conditioning, doing laundry, cooking meals and charging devices all contribute to your monthly kWh usage. 

Weather and seasonal changes 

Hot summers and cold winters can increase electricity usage as your heating and cooling systems work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. Seasonal weather is often one of the biggest reasons electricity bills fluctuate throughout the year. 

Home size and efficiency 

Larger homes often require more energy for lighting, heating and cooling. A home's insulation, window quality, appliance efficiency and overall condition can also influence how much electricity it uses. 

Your electricity plan 

The type of electricity plan you choose can affect how your bill is calculated. Factors such as your energy rate, base charge, contract type and delivery charges all play a role in determining your monthly costs.
