KEEP IN MIND:

To take advantage of the budget tracking feature, your meter must be configured to provide electricity rate information. If your meter does not support rate information, then this screen will simply show your energy usage measured by kWh. To estimate your month-to-date energy costs, you will need to multiply the kWh value shown on the product display by your kWh rate which can likely be found on your electricity bill.
