Your heaviest month and what to set aside
A flat monthly average hides summer cooling and winter heating spikes. EIA-861M shows which month usually costs the most in your state. The free calculator prefills that state’s average monthly bill; the Annual Bills Plan uses the seasonal curve to show how much to set aside before the heavy month hits.
Methodology and sources
- EIA-861 — Average_Bill_2025.xlsx (Residential). 2025 final data, released October 7, 2026. Average annual bill = average monthly bill × 12.
- EIA-861M — sales_revenue.xlsx (Monthly-States sheet). 2025 Final residential revenue/customers by state-month; average bill = (revenue thousand $ × 1000) / customers.

How does the electricity bill calculator use this table?

Why show peak and low months?
