A method of indicating consumption of utility services with multi-level pricing. In the method, a rating system is created that is determined by the pattern of electric usage for different time periods. The rating has an arbitrarily set point level for each time period, each of the levels corresponding inversely to the price. An overall rating is calculated by multiplying the kilowatt hours consumed during a low-priced time period by the highest rating to arrive at a point score for that time period, multiplying the kilowatt hours consumed during a high-priced time period by the lowest rating to arrive at another point score for that time period, and multiplying the kilowatt hours consumed during any intermediate-priced time period by an intermediate rating to arrive at still another point score for that time period. All of the points for the time periods are added together, and the total points are divided by total kilowatt-hours consumed to arrive at an average rating level to help consumers compare the relative costs of their usage month to month, season by season and year to year.
