Australian Electricity Bill Calculator

Estimate an Australian household electricity bill in AUD using daily kWh, your usage tariff, daily supply charge and billing period.

LIFESTYLE & HOME

Estimate the usage and supply components of an Australian electricity bill without assuming that one tariff represents the whole country.

Enter the cents-per-kWh and daily supply charge printed on your plan or bill. Rates vary by retailer, tariff, time of use, state and distribution area, so the calculator keeps both charges editable.

Disclaimer: This is a planning estimate, not a retailer quote. Demand charges, controlled-load tariffs, concessions, credits, solar exports and time-of-use periods require separate bill-line adjustments.

Calculator information

How to use this calculator

  1. Choose your state or territory for context.
  2. Copy the usage rate and daily supply charge from your current plan.
  3. Enter average daily use and the number of days in the bill.
  4. Use the low and high scenarios to allow for a 10% change in consumption.

Australian electricity bill estimate

Bill = (daily kWh × days × $/kWh) + (days × daily supply charge)
  • Usage and supply rates should use the same GST basis.
  • The scenario range changes consumption by ±10%; it does not claim a retailer price range.

Worked example: 90-day bill

Given:
  • 16 kWh/day
  • $0.35/kWh usage
  • $1.10/day supply
Steps:
  1. Usage: 16 × 90 × $0.35 = $504
  2. Supply: 90 × $1.10 = $99

Result: Estimated bill: $603 before any credits, solar exports or special tariff periods.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the calculator ask for a daily supply charge?
Australian electricity plans normally separate the fixed daily connection charge from usage charged in cents per kWh.
Does it support time-of-use tariffs?
Use a weighted average usage rate for a quick estimate. A precise time-of-use bill needs separate peak, shoulder and off-peak consumption.
Are rebates or solar exports included?
No. Subtract bill credits or feed-in tariff credits separately because eligibility and rates vary.
