Household Size Average
As the above average costs from our research are based on households of all shapes and sizes, let’s dive further into the data to see how these utility bills look based on household size. If you live alone or with just one other person, you will generally use less electricity than a large family with three teenagers who all play computer games around the clock. The following table shows average electricity bills by household size across Australia.
| Number of residents | Average Annual Electricity Bill |
|---|---|
| 1 | $968 |
| 2 | $1,336 |
| 3 | $1,680 |
| 4 | $1,944 |
| 5 | $2,228 |

This table follows an intuitive path, with average energy bills increasing with the number of residents. Single person households recorded the lowest bills, with two to three person residences recording they have spent a few hundred dollars more. Our survey suggests that a third person might run a property almost $350 a year more on their power bill.
Household Income Average
When it comes to household bills, the concern is always that those who can least afford to pay the most, often end up doing so. But what about when it comes to electricity? Our research also shows average power bills by households income.
| Household Income | Average Annual Electricity Bill |
|---|---|
| Less than $30,000 | $1,140 |
| $30,000 to $49,999 | $1,300 |
| $50,000 to $79,999 | $1,352 |
| $80,000 to $119,999 | $1,528 |
| $120,000 and over | $1,640 |
Source:Canstar Blue electricity customer satisfaction survey, November 2021.
It would appear that low income households generally pay less for power than higher income households, though of course there may be multiple factors at play here. For example, higher income households are seemingly more likely to live in larger homes, with higher energy usage requirements. These findings don’t necessarily suggest lower income families get better power deals.
Age Group Average
In our high-level findings above, we’ve mentioned the lowest and highest average bills by state and age group, with younger Australians generally paying the most and older customers typically paying a lot less across the country. On a national level, here are average power bills by age group.
| Age Group | Average Annual Electricity Bill |
|---|---|
| 18 to 29 years | $1,744 |
| 30 to 39 years | $1,668 |
| 40 to 49 years | $1,504 |
| 50 to 59 years | $1,380 |
| 60 to 69 years | $1,228 |
| 70 years and over | $1,168 |

So, the older you get, the less you pay for power? Može biti. It’s certainly the case that some electricity retailers offer additional discounts for seniors card holders and pensioners may be eligible for government rebates on their power bills. But also consider the other factors potentially impacting these costs. For example, younger people may live in larger households with high electricity usage needs, while older energy customers are more likely to have solar systems installed. Younger Australians are also more likely to live in rental properties where they are perhaps less concerned about finding a good power deal.
What impacts energy bills?
Average energy bills are just that – an average reflection of what households pay to keep the lights on. However, there are two main factors that determine the average costs mentioned above:
- Electricity Usage: Small households of 2 or 3 people will typically use less energy than a larger household of 4 or 5 people. But the amount of energy used by a property is also dependent on other factors, such as the energy-efficiency of appliances, how often certain appliances are used (e.g. air conditioners and clothes dryers) and whether the property has a swimming pool.
- Electricity Prices: The other major factor in determining energy costs is the price you pay for power. If you’re getting a good deal on electricity, you’ll naturally have lower bills than an equivalent household getting a bad energy deal.
If you’re keen to cut your electricity costs, the good news is that you have the power to act on the factors mentioned above – by either reducing your energy usage, or finding a better energy deal. Or both!
How else can I tell if my energy bills are average?
If you’re looking for further evidence that your electricity bills are typical of other households like yours, your latest energy bill may be able to help. Most electricity providers publish helpful information in your bill statements, such as the actual amount of power used, what it costs, how your usage has changed over time, and how your usage compares to other customers in your area. The following image is taken from an Origin Energy bill, showing the customer’s electricity usage compared to that of other households.
Could I get a better-than-average energy deal?
Having an average energy bill may be reassuring if you thought your bills are not accurate, or that you’re generally paying way too much. But being average is certainly nothing to aspire to when it comes to electricity. In fact, having an average bill – by definition – means you’re paying more than you need to.
Therefore consider the table below which shows annual costs for the cheapest electricity plans on our database, based on a general usage at a selected postcode in each state.
| State | Cheapest Electricity Bill |
|---|---|
| New South Wales | $954 |
| Victoria | $961 |
| Queensland | $1,136 |
| South Australia | $1,180 |
| Tasmania | $1,345 |
Source:Canstar Blue electricity comparison database, February 2022. Costs are yearly estimates only and based on single rate tariffs in each state. Postcodes used for example, 2040, 3122, 4064, 5033, 7000.
How do your annual electricity costs compare? If you pay more than the costs above, you are paying too much. Keep in mind that costs can vary significantly between suburbs and household sizes, but this provides a helpful guide as to what you could be paying.

Still want to be average?
The fact that you’ve found this page on our website suggests you’re not happy with the price you’re paying for energy. But the good news is that – unless you are already on the best deal in your area – there are potentially big savings to be had by shopping around. To get a better-than-average power deal, you will need to be proactive. This means regularly comparing your options and being willing to switch to a better deal if it comes up. Don’t put up with an average electricity bill, search for a better one.
