I used 2917kwh of power last month. That makes the first 1000kwh cost $126.207, and the other 1917kwh cost $246.78691. There’s a base cost of $14.50. All of that combined equals $387.49.

My bill last month was $513.47. What the hell am I missing? Based on that usage and bill, it’s a rate of $0.1709 per kWh.


Could it be a whole or partial part of last month too? In other words maybe the remainder is a carryover of kWhs from the month prior.

Nope. My power bill is always 4-500 in the summer. This is just the first time I’ve calculated what the cost should be.


So you had the variable hourly energy rate for every hour in your billing cycle? That’s impressive
