Enter the total energy usage for the period (kWh) and the average price of electricity ($/kWh) into the Electric Bill Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Electric Bill. 

Electric Bill Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Electric Bill. 

EB = E * CE

  • Where EB is the Electric Bill ($)
  • E is the total energy usage for the period (kWh) 
  • CE is the average price of electricity ($/kWh) 

How to Calculate an Electric Bill?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Electric Bill.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total energy usage for the period (kWh). 
    • The total energy usage for the period (kWh) is given as: 1400.
  2. Next, determine the average price of electricity ($/kWh). 
    • The average price of electricity ($/kWh) is provided as: .24.
  3. Finally, calculate the Electric Bill using the equation above: 

EB = E * CE

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

EB =1400*.24 = 336 ($)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:

total energy usage for the period (kWh) = 6000

average price of electricity ($/kWh) = .50

This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer. 

EB = E * CE = ?
