Summarise What Your Utility Bill Breakdown Actually Means
Unit rate, standing charge, estimated reading, a balance that's somehow both in credit and a worry: the bill is designed to confuse. Paste the breakdown and this explains each part in plain terms, whether your rates are typical, and what's actually driving the total. For anyone who pays the bill but couldn't say what half of it means.
