Utility Bill Calculator

Cost = consumption in kWh × price per kWh + fixed costs (standing charge, system charges, taxes). E.g.: 250 kWh × €0.28/kWh = €70 plus the monthly fixed costs. The "all-in" price per kWh in Italy ranges roughly between €0.20 and €0.35.

The Smc (standard cubic metre) is the unit used to bill gas: it accounts for the calorific value, so it differs slightly from the "physical" cubic metre on the meter. The all-in price usually ranges between €0.90 and €1.40/Smc. Cost = Smc used × price + fixed costs.

Water is billed per cubic metre (1 m³ = 1,000 litres) and almost always on a progressive tiered tariff: the more you use, the higher the unit price. On top of the usage you pay a standing charge plus sewerage and treatment. The average all-in cost in Italy is about €1.5-3.5/m³.

As a rough guide, a 3-person household uses about 2,700 kWh of electricity per year, 1,000-1,400 Smc of gas (heavily affected by heating) and 130-150 m³ of water. Real consumption depends on the home, number of people, heating and appliances.

They are the electricity time bands. F1 (Mon-Fri 8am-7pm) is the most expensive; F2 (Mon-Fri 7-8am and 7-11pm, Sat 7am-11pm) is intermediate; F3 (nights, Sundays and holidays) is the cheapest. With a two-band tariff it pays to shift the washing machine, dishwasher and oven to F2/F3.

In Italy there is a social bonus for electricity, gas and water, granted automatically to households with an ISEE below the set thresholds (and in cases of medical hardship). You just need to file the ISEE declaration: the discount is applied directly on the bill. It is worth checking the updated thresholds each year.

After the end of the regulated market, almost all customers are on the free market, where prices are set by the supplier (fixed or variable-price offers). It pays to compare offers regularly with a comparison tool, read the terms carefully (spread, duration, any extra services) and be wary of phone-only promotions. A fixed price gives stability; a variable one can pay off if wholesale prices fall.

Consumption in kWh times the price per kWh, plus the fixed costs: standing charge, system charges and taxes. Two hundred and fifty kWh at 0.28 euro is 70 euro, before the monthly fixed part.

It is the unit gas is billed in, and it accounts for the calorific value, so it differs slightly from the physical cubic metre on the meter. The all in price usually sits between 0.90 and 1.30 euro.

Water is billed per cubic metre, a thousand litres, and almost always on a tiered tariff: the more you use, the higher the unit price. On top of usage come the standing charge, sewerage and treatment.

Yes, and not because we promise it: this tool runs entirely inside your browser. What you type or upload never leaves your device, so it never reaches a server of ours and there is nothing we could keep, read or lose. You can check it yourself: open the page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool keeps working.

No. There is no database behind this tool: we do not store your files, your text or your results. When you close the tab nothing is left — not here with us, because it never arrived, and not anywhere else.

We do not profile you: there is no account to create, we never ask for your email to use a tool, and we keep no profile of what you do. We are an Italian company and we work under the GDPR and the other European rules, with the privacy notice and the consent request in plain sight. One thing we say in full rather than hiding it behind a slogan: the ads on the page are Google's, and Google may use cookies to personalise them. You decide from the consent banner: if you say no the ads stay, but they are not personalised, and the tool works exactly the same.

From the ads on the page, and that is all. We do not sell your data, there is no hidden paid plan, there is no limit that eventually asks for your card, and you do not have to sign up. The ads pay for the servers and for the time we spend writing the tools: that is how we can keep them open to everyone.
