How this works: your ZIP maps to its dominant county (Census ZCTA crosswalk), the county to the utilities EIA-861 lists as serving it — then you pick yours. The price shown is that utility's average bundled residential price (EIA-861: residential revenue ÷ residential sales, 2024 — the latest final year), not your tariff; your plan sets your actual number. State line: EIA EPM Table 5.6.A, July 2026.

Why this number

Every utility in all 50 states, one lookup. No public dataset can tell you your exact electricity rate from a ZIP code alone — most US counties are served by more than one utility, and your tariff is a contract, not a lookup. What this tool does honestly: your ZIP maps to its county (Census crosswalk), the county to the utilities EIA-861 lists as serving it, and you pick the name on your bill. It then shows that utility’s average bundled residential price — residential revenue divided by residential sales from EIA-861, vintage labeled — next to your state’s June-2026 average, and hands the number into this site’s calculators. If your utility isn’t listed or you already know your rate, one field carries your own figure everywhere.

“What’s my electricity rate?” has two honest answers: the one on your bill, and a defensible average for your utility. This page gets you the second in three clicks — and never pretends it’s the first.

Average bundled price = residential revenue ÷ residential sales per utility, EIA-861 (2024, the latest final year). An average across every plan and season — a sanity anchor, never a quote. National aggregate by the same formula: 15.41¢.

Why this tool refuses to guess

We measured it before building: in a 500-ZIP national sample, only about 9% of ZIPs map to exactly one utility — more than half sit in counties served by four or more. A tool that silently turned your ZIP into “your rate” would be wrong for most of the country, which is exactly why this one shows you the candidate list and lets you pick. The average it then shows is computed from EIA-861’s audited revenue and sales lines — a real, sourced number with its vintage printed next to it — and the difference between that average and your bill is usually your plan, your season, and your fixed charges, which is what the bill jump calculator is for.

How we calculated this

No estimate is made. ZIP → county (Census ZCTA crosswalk) → the utilities EIA-861 lists as serving that county → average residential price = residential revenue ÷ residential sales from the 2024 EIA-861 file. That is a bundled average, not your tariff; the hand-off sends it to the calculators as a starting rate.
