Bill Hero Bill Index

Real bills from Australian households, not marketing estimates

Median monthly electricity bill (what households actually pay), not a pure price index. Generated 01/09/2026

The Bill Hero Bill Index tracks what Australian households actually pay for energy, broadband, and fuel — based on real subscriber bills, not advertised prices or regulatory estimates.

Unlike comparison sites that show acquisition offers, or regulators who publish price caps, the Bill Index reveals what Australians actually pay after discounts expire, loyalty penalties accumulate, and seasonal demand fluctuates.

Why the Bill Index is Different

✓ Real Bills

Not advertised acquisition offers. We track what households actually pay after discounts expire.

✓ No Commission Bias

Bill Hero doesn't take retailer commissions. Our data shows the full market, not just paying partners.

✓ Transparent Methodology

All data sources, sample sizes, and calculations are published. No black-box estimates.

For Journalists & Researchers

The Bill Index is a citable, recurring data source for Australian cost-of-living reporting. All data is available for download in machine-readable formats.
