Electricity effective rate calculator
Last reviewed 2026-09-12 by Jaken Energy editorial desk. Next review scheduled 2027-03-12.
Direct answer
Divide total monthly electric charges by monthly kWh usage to get an effective $/kWh rate. This blends supply and delivery—it is not the same as your supplier energy charge alone.
Effective rate ($/kWh) = Total electric charges ($) ÷ kWh used
