June 2026’s table is a split month: 22 states up, 28 down, and the national average moved -0.5% to 18.34¢. The monthly extremes are Missouri (+18.6%) and Illinois (-16.6%), and Idaho and Iowa round out the top three risers. The year-over-year picture is steadier and more useful for a household budget: 45 states cost more than in June 2025, the national average is +5.0%, and the widest annual moves are Hawaii at +28.7% and Connecticut at -10.6%. By Census division, Pacific shows the largest average annual increase (+11.1%) and West North Central the smallest (+3.5%), so the same appliance costs are drifting apart regionally rather than together. In money terms, the national change is worth about $8.70 per 1,000 kWh a year on, which for a typical 900-kWh month is roughly $7.83 a month more than a year earlier. The spread between the cheapest state (Nevada, 13.11¢) and the most expensive (Hawaii, 52.72¢) is 4.0×, which is why every calculator on this site asks for your own rate rather than the national one.

The US average is EIA’s national residential figure, not the mean of the 50 state averages. Each state name links to that state’s page, where the same rate drives solar payback, EV charging and appliance costs. Next EIA release: see the rate tracker , which carries the release calendar.

How we calculated this

Month-on-month % = (this month − previous month) ÷ previous month × 100; year-on-year % uses the same month a year earlier. Rates are the residential average revenue per kWh from EIA Electric Power Monthly Table 5.6.A, taken from the edition in which each month was first published and revised where EIA restated it (see the rate tracker’s method note). Division averages are simple means of the member states’ YoY changes.
