Rough estimate only — actual utility rates vary enormously by provider and location.

How this utilities estimate is built

Electricity and gas are estimated from rough national-average cost per square foot, adjusted by a climate multiplier since heating and cooling drive most of the variation. Water scales with the number of occupants. Internet and trash/sewer are flat monthly figures you can adjust to your actual bills. Local utility rates vary widely, so treat this as a planning starting point, not a bill prediction.

Frequently asked questions

Roughly $400-700 a month combining electricity, gas, water, trash, and internet under average conditions — actual cost depends heavily on your climate, energy efficiency, and local rates.

This tool uses rough national averages — your specific utility provider's rates, your home's insulation and efficiency, and your household's actual usage habits all shift real bills up or down significantly.
