Step-by-Step Guide
How to calculate Ihre Stromkosten und Einsparpotenziale step by step: 1. Jahresverbrauch determine: Lesen Sie den Verbrauch von Ihrer letzten Jahresabrechnung ab (in kWh). Falls nicht vorhanden, schaetzen Sie: 1 Person ca. 1.500 kWh, 2 Personen ca. 2.500 kWh, 4 Personen ca. 4.000 kWh. 2. Aktuellen Stromtarif enter: Arbeitspreis in ct/kWh (durchschnittlich 35-40 ct/kWh in 2026) und monatlicher Grundpreis (ca. 8-15 EUR/month). 3. Jahreskosten calculate: Jahreskosten = (Verbrauch x Arbeitspreis) + (Grundpreis x 12). 4. Monatlichen Abschlag determine: Abschlag = Jahreskosten / 12. 5. Tarifvergleich durchfuehren: compare Sie Ihren aktuellen Tarif mit guenstigeren Anbietern. Die Grundversorgung ist oft 5-10 ct/kWh teurer als Alternativtarife. 6. Kuendigungsfrist beachten: Grundversorgung 2 Wochen, Sondervertraege meist 1-3 Monate.
Calculation Example
3-Personen-Haushalt, 3.200 kWh/year, Arbeitspreis 0,38 EUR/kWh, Grundpreis 12 EUR/month: Jahreskosten = (3.200 x 0,38) + (12 x 12) = 1.216 + 144 = 1.360 EUR. Abschlag: 113 EUR/month.
