1. What is the FPL Cost Calculator?

The FPL (Florida Power & Light) Cost Calculator estimates your electricity bill based on your usage, the tiered rate structure, and any additional fees. It helps customers understand and predict their energy costs.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the FPL cost equation:

Where:

• \( Usage \) — Electricity consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh)
• \( Tier\ Rate \) — Rate per kWh based on your usage tier ($/kWh)
• \( Fees \) — Additional fixed fees or charges ($)

Explanation: The equation calculates the base cost by multiplying usage by the rate, then adds any additional fees.

3. Importance of Cost Calculation

Details: Understanding your electricity costs helps with budgeting and identifying opportunities for energy savings through conservation or efficiency improvements.

4. Using the Calculator
