How this works
No black box: two EIA numbers and one multiplication.
| Rate | The state's latest average residential price per kWh (revenue ÷ sales, EIA-826 monthly data). |
|---|---|
| Usage | Your monthly kWh — or the state's residential average if you leave the slider near its default. |
| Result | usage × rate = estimated bill. Annual = monthly × 12. |
| Limits | Real bills also include fixed customer charges, tiered rates, time-of-use plans, taxes and fees — so treat the result as a market benchmark, not a quote. In deregulated states your retail provider's rate may differ from the state average. |
