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.
A 2-bedroom apartment can fit many usage patterns. This page starts with a 750 kWh planning estimate for a shared apartment or small household with more devices, laundry, cooking, and heating or cooling hours.
If the bill looks high, check roommate schedules, in-unit dryers, gaming PCs, multiple AC units, and water heating. Then compare daily kWh and the all-in rate from the actual bill.
