The FPL Budget Billing Program takes the guesswork out of your electric bill.

Numbers are for example only and are not intended to represent actual figures.

Many things can cause your electric bill to fluctuate over the course of a year, such as

• weather
• new electronics / appliances
• house guests
• etc.

To prevent major fluctuations in your bill, the FPL Budget Billing Program evens out your energy costs so you pay about the same amount each month.

Components used to calculate your FPL Budget Billing

Three components are used to calculate your Budget Bill amount, including your

• Actual Bill - the actual kilowatt-hours used for the current month at your address
• Average Bill - the last 12 months' actual bills for your address (including the current month) divided by 12.
• Deferred Balance - the difference between the actual bill and the average bill for the current month. The deferred balance is placed in your Deferred Balance account each month. It is shown on your monthly bill as your Budget Bill Deferred Balance and can be a credit or a debit.

How FPL Budget Billing is calculated

Each month 1/12 of your Budget Bill Deferred Balance account is added to (or subtracted from, if it is a credit) the average bill, and this becomes your current Budget Bill — the amount you will be asked to pay each month.

Note: Since the Budget Bills are recalculated monthly, the bills will vary slightly from month to month.

Are accounts ever reviewed at the end of 12 months or adjusted annually (also known as "trued up")?

FPL Budget Billing accounts will only have to be "trued up" when

• you close your account or
• you discontinue FPL Budget Billing or
• FPL Budget Billing is discontinued because of a past due bill.

Note: It is very important to keep your account current to remain in this program.
