What this calculator is doing
It separates usage-based energy cost from the charges that stay on the bill even when usage drops. That all-in effective rate is often higher than the advertised kWh rate.
25 cents per kWh is the same as $0.25per kWh. It can fit a higher-cost electricity plan, peak pricing period, supply plan, or high-rate region, but the final bill may be higher once delivery, customer charges, taxes, and riders are included.
To compare plans, calculate the energy charge first, then divide the full bill by kWh to see the all-in effective rate.
