What changes the answer
The average price reported by EIA is a revenue-per-kWh statistic, not necessarily the marginal rate on a household tariff. Fixed customer charges and demand or time-of-use rules can change the bill.

United States home calculators
Separate the rate, fees and time-of-use periods before comparing a US electricity decision.
What people mix up
Home projects commonly use feet, inches, square feet, cubic yards, US gallons and pounds. Every project tool keeps the selected unit visible through the calculation.
