How this is calculated
Each term earns points on a stated scale, capped at its maximum. The total is out of 100.
Rates shown as defaults come from carrier publications or each carrier’s published table applied to the EIA price; see the methodology. Estimates and examples are labeled. Results are illustrative and do not represent any carrier’s reported financial results.
