how it works:
The current month’s bill is added to the bills for the past 11 months together with any carryover balance created by average billing. This amount is then divided by 12 to produce an average monthly bill. If there are any adjustments to your account for purchases or miscellaneous charges, those charges are added to the average bill amount. The monthly budget amount is the sum of the average amount and any additional charges.
The average monthly bill is not a set amount and can vary, plus or minus, a few dollars each month. This plan is conducive to budgeting as it levels your annual usage.
