Real prices per unit (R/kWh) from prepaid and postpaid slips, metro by metro - median, the middle half of buyers, and how it has moved.
Tap a metro on the map or pick one below. Researched figures are CalcSA estimates seeded from published tariffs, not real slips; Community figures come from people like you. A metro with fewer than 10 usable purchases shows too few submissions instead of a number.

Where do you stand?
Type in your last electricity purchase - the rand amount and the units (kWh) on the slip or bill. "Where do I stand" only compares; nothing is saved. "Add my purchase" also adds it, anonymously, to the figures above.
We never ask for your name, email or address - only the metro, the amount, the units and the month. Five submissions a day at most per visitor. The middle 90% of values is used (the top and bottom 5% are trimmed) so one typo cannot move a median. See the privacy policy.
