Bill assistant
Where your electricity goes
Show me the bill and I will read it. At the end you get where your units are going, what the next one costs you, and whether solar would pay.
Step one
Show me your bill
A photo of the paper one, or the PDF your DISCO emailed. I will read the figures off it so you do not have to type them.
Before you upload
- The file is sent to a third-party AI provider to be read, whether it is a photo or a PDF. That is the only way this works, and if you would rather not, the form takes the same figures typed in.
- It is never stored. Not on disk, not in a log, not in a database.
- It is sent once, to be read. It is not kept and not sent again when you ask a question afterwards.
- What we read off it stays in this browser tab until you close it, and is sent to the AI provider each time you ask a question about your bill.
- Your name, address and the QR code are not read at all. They are not part of what we ask for, so there is nothing to leak.
- Your reference number is not read either. The company name printed on the bill is enough to know which DISCO you are on.
- Nothing is calculated until you have checked every field on the next screen.
What this tool does, and what it will not do
It does not check your bill. It cannot tell you whether you were charged correctly and it does not try to. Every figure is an estimate built from the notified tariff and from typical equipment ratings, not from a reading of your meter. If you think your bill is wrong, that is a matter for your DISCO.
It works out the energy charge and the fixed charge. It does not model GST, electricity duty, the TV fee, or the surcharges that move month to month. So the figures here will not add up to the amount printed on your bill, and are not meant to. If you enter your bill total we use it to work out your real all-in rate per unit, which is the one honest bridge between the two.
The tariff is the notified 2026 schedule. Where a rule is genuinely unsettled in the published documents, this tool says so rather than picking a number. The protected-status lookback period is the main one.
Where your answers go
The form is worked out on our server and nothing is stored. Your answers are held in this browser tab so the assistant can use them without asking you twice, and they are gone when you close it.
If you ask the assistant a question, that question and those figures go to the AI provider that answers it. Nothing else does. A photograph of a bill is read once and discarded. It is never uploaded anywhere as an image.
