I pulled out the bill and nowhere does it show the kWh rate, can't find it online either
You can calculate it, by dividing the itemized charge by the kWh usage. To find that, you might need to subtract your previous meter reading from the current one. Be sure not to include the monthly service charge, taxes, or any other fees besides the actual cost of the power.
We are in Texas and our bill usually runs around $200.00 for the summer. In the fall, winter, and spring it's usually around $50.00 to $80.00, but we have gas heat so that's another bill. Our thermostat is set on 79 during the day, but 76 at night.
In Florida we pay an $8.76 per month customer charge and then for the first 1000 KWH of usage it is .1076 and after that it is .12851 per KWH.
Here in TN the minimum per month is $15.75 and then the KWH rate is: for the first 800 KWH .06317 and after that it becomes .05596. The rates go down in the winter but are cheapest in the Fall and Spring.
Since I am off grid our electric is free and the payback was immediate since it would have cost us more than our system cost just to bring electric to our house.

That's an advantage you have, you can turn the AC higher during the day. I'm home all day, I work at home. Having the AC run during the day at any setting pulls a bigger load, obviously, due to the outside heat.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere though that there is a different rate depending on some formula....you'd think the website would clarify since it states on the bill that you can find rates online.

Call the utility company and ask them what's the rate/kwh?
In South Texas, it ranges from $100 to $150. In a household of 2 and a dog, we either pick up the temp during the summer or down during the winter during work hours. Home is about 25 years old with energy star windows but insulation isn't too great.
I'm not desperate to know...just wanted to simply look it up to post it, DUH
sorry...
