How does the bill estimate on this page work?

It multiplies your state’s average home price per kWh by the kWh you enter. The price comes from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and spreads delivery charges and fees across each kWh, so your real bill can be higher or lower. Your own bill shows how many kWh you used.
