    How we calculate these estimates

    Rate and bill estimates shown here are benchmark figures based on AER and ESC reference data, not retail quotes.

    Estimated costs can vary by usage, tariff type, retailer, distributor, and address. Both supply charges (the daily fixed cost of being connected) and usage rates (c/kWh) affect your total bill. Solar feed-in tariffs vary by retailer and plan. Always review plan details, fees, and conditions before switching.
