1. What is the FPL Cost Per kWh Calculator?

The FPL (Florida Power & Light) cost per kWh calculator estimates electricity costs per kilowatt-hour based on the rate. Note: While FPL is a Florida utility, this calculator is adapted for Australian rates.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple equation:

Where:

• \( Cost_{kWh} \) — Cost per kilowatt-hour (AUD/kWh)
• \( Rate \) — Electricity rate (AUD/kWh)

Explanation: The cost per kWh is directly equal to the rate you pay for electricity.

3. Importance of Cost Calculation

Details: Understanding your cost per kWh helps in budgeting electricity expenses, comparing energy plans, and evaluating energy efficiency measures.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your electricity rate in AUD/kWh. The value must be greater than 0.
