USA Electricity Bill Generator
A typical U.S. electricity bill includes a customer’s account number, service address, billing period, and meter readings. The amount due is calculated from the customer’s electricity usage (measured in kWh) multiplied by their applicable electricity rate. Most U.S. utility bills break charges into several components: an energy or supply charge for the electricity itself, a delivery or distribution charge for getting the power to the home or business, fixed customer charges, demand charges (for commercial accounts), plus applicable taxes and fees. Credits — including solar credits, net-metering credits, and promotional credits — reduce the total.
How kWh is calculated
kWh stands for kilowatt-hour. To calculate the kWh used in a billing period, the utility subtracts the previous meter reading from the current meter reading, then multiplies the result by the meter multiplier. For example, 12,950 kWh − 12,450 kWh = 500 kWh used. Most residential meters use a multiplier of 1.
Delivery, supply, and customer charges
Supply charges (sometimes called generation charges) cover the cost of the electricity itself. Delivery or distribution charges cover the cost of transmitting and distributing power to your home or business, and may include fixed monthly fees plus per-kWh rates. A customer charge is a fixed monthly fee that covers the cost of maintaining the account. Some utilities also charge a demand charge for commercial customers based on the highest amount of power drawn during the billing period.
Taxes, fees, and credits
State and local sales tax is commonly added to the taxable portion of the bill. Regulatory fees, environmental fees, and other small charges may also appear. Credits — such as solar credits, net-metering credits, and promotional credits — are subtracted from the total. The final amount due is the previous balance plus current charges minus payments.
How to read the usage graph
The bar chart in this generator shows electricity usage in kWh for each historical billing period, plus the current period. The red dashed line indicates the average usage across all displayed periods, so you can quickly see whether your current usage is above or below average. The cost breakdown chart shows where each dollar of your current bill is going.
