Utility Bill

A utility bill is an invoice issued by an energy or water supplier detailing consumption, charges, and taxes for a given billing period.

Definition

A utility bill is the invoice issued by a supplier for electricity, gas, or water consumption over a billing period, itemising consumption volumes, tariff rates, standing charges, taxes, and levies. Utility bills are often complex, with multiple charge components beyond simple consumption cost.

Why It Matters

Because utility bills are complex and error-prone, they're a common source of overcharges that go unnoticed without dedicated review.
