Advertised rates don’t always tell the whole story, especially with Texas\u2019 500\/1000\/2000 kWh pricing tiers. The rate you see isn\u2019t the rate you pay. BillSmart\u2122 Calculator <\/strong>shows your effective rate (what you’ll actually pay) before you sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How BillSmart Calculator Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finding the right electricity plan isn’t magic. It’s math. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2017, our PlanScan\u2122 algorithm has calculated the true cost of thousands of Texas electricity plans. We account for usage tiers, fees, and bill credits that the advertised rate doesn’t easily reveal. BillSmart Calculator puts that same calculation in your hands, so you can see what you’ll really pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find the this tool in the Plan Details for each plan. This video shows you where to locate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
