Compare Solar Electricity Plans Using Your Own Bill
Use your own electricity bill details to compare Australian solar plans using daily charges, actual usage and feed-in tariffs together, so you can estimate your net cost. New to tiered solar credits? Read why your solar credit drops off a cliff.
How it works: Upload a bill or enter the usage, rates and feed-in tariff yourself, then compare estimated net costs for the same billing period. Money Detective compares only the figures you provide. It does not retrieve plan data. Check imported details—estimates are a guide, not future bills.
Don't have your usage numbers handy?
Use an average based on household size as a starting point. A recent bill will give you a more relevant comparison.
These national averages are a guide only and may not reflect high-use appliances such as pools, ducted air conditioning or electric vehicle charging.
Your privacy: Your bill PDF is read in your browser to prefill the calculator. It isn't uploaded to Money Detective or anyone else. This tool provides estimates and general information only—not financial or personal advice. Check the imported details before comparing plans. Privacy Policy

SKIP THE RATE HUNT
Want current solar plan rates filled for you?

Why feed-in tariffs matter: A lower usage rate is not always the cheapest option once solar export credits are included.
