Mobile home park utility rate calculator
Compare what your mobile home park charges per unit of water, electricity, or gas against the local utility's published rate to see the difference you pay.
Published May 31, 2026
If a park resells you water, electricity, or gas through a submeter, this tool compares the park's per-unit rate against the public utility's published rate for the usage you enter. It returns general information about the difference — it does not read your bill or decide whether a charge is allowed.
How this calculator works
It multiplies each rate by the usage you enter and shows the two totals side by side, along with the difference. Many states limit what a park may charge to resell utilities — frequently no more than the public utility's own rate — so a gap can be a useful thing to understand. Whether any difference is permitted depends on your state's rules and your agreement; see your state's utilities guide.
What this calculator doesn't do
- It does not read or analyze your utility bill or lease.
- It does not decide whether the park's rate is legal in your state.
- It does not include fixed fees, taxes, or other line items unless you fold them into the rate yourself.
- It does not provide legal advice or guarantee any outcome.
For your specific situation, consider consulting a licensed attorney in your state.
Units billed (kWh, gallons, therms, etc.).
For 900 units of electric, the park's rate would bill $144.00 versus $117.00 at the published utility rate.
That is $27.00 more per billing period at the park's rate.
