Run the numbers
on your energy bill.
Three free tools, all in one place. Each one uses only the numbers you type in and prices that are published and sourced. None of them is a quote, and none needs your email.

Rate vs. Price to Compare
Is your electricity rate above or below what your utility charges by default? Enter your rate and usage to see the gap in dollars.
Use it below →Capacity Charge Estimate
In PJM states, capacity prices have risen sharply. Enter your peak load contribution (PLC) to estimate your yearly capacity charge.
Open the estimate →Load Factor Check
How evenly do you use power? A low load factor means short, sharp peaks, and demand and capacity charges take a bigger share of your bill.
Open the check →Is your rate above or below your utility's default price?
Your utility sets a default supply price. If you shop for a supplier, your rate can land above or below it. Pick your utility, then enter the supply rate from your bill and your monthly usage.
Use the supply (generation) rate in cents per kWh, not your total bill. It is on your bill or in your supplier contract.
Utility default price
Your rate
per kWh, as you entered it
Difference
per kWh, yours minus the default
This compares supply prices only. Your total bill also includes delivery charges, taxes, and fees, which this tool leaves out. Default prices change, so check the date shown. It is an estimate for comparison, not a quote or a guarantee of savings. See every utility's official price.
