How the calculator gets the total
- It finds the season from the billing month. Summer rates apply in June to September. Shoulder rates apply in April, May, October and November. Winter rates apply in December to March.
- It multiplies the base charge by the number of days in the billing period.
- It applies the rate of each tier of the energy charge to the kWh in that tier.
- It multiplies the kWh by the rate of the fuel cost recovery and energy cost management (FCR-2 and ECM-2A).
- It multiplies the kWh by the rate of each of the 3 riders in the riders table, from the environmental compliance overview plan (ECO-3) to the ad valorem tax adjustment (ATA-2).
- It adds the regulatory tax recovery (RTR-2). This is a fixed amount for each month.
- It adds the excess ADIT retail tax credit (TCJA credit). This is a fixed amount for each month.
The calculator rounds each line to the cent. Each percentage uses the rounded lines.
Items that the calculator does not include
- Sales tax. The Mississippi Power sample bill says that residential electric service is exempt from sales tax.
- Rider SSI-7 (base charge credit of $1.14 a day for customers who get SSI or TANF).
- The non-standard meter charge (Schedule NSM) and other optional rates and programs, for example levelized monthly billing.
- Clause RNA-1 (the index marks it as suspended) and Plan PEP-7 (it changes the base rates, which are already in Rate R-62).
- Facilities charges and the charges in the service rules (for example connection fees and late payment charges).

Base rates read from the text of Rate Schedule R-62, the copy that the Mississippi Power pricing and rates page links to. Each adjustment factor read from the adjustment factor bulletin on the same page (the bulletins are scanned images, so we read them at full size and with OCR). The fuel line is the net fuel cost recovery and energy cost management factor for "all other" schedules. Mississippi Power and the Mississippi PSC do not publish a typical bill at the current rates. The Mississippi Power sample bill (July 2025) has the same line structure: a current service line, an environmental costs line and a system recovery line. Its 2025 factors are not on the current rates page, so its amounts cannot be checked. The test bills are hand calculations. Mississippi Power, How to Read Your Bill (sample bill, July 2025).
