Build example — not an official YSPSC tool

A tariff calculator built for Yap electricity customers

This is a real, working example of the kind of tool OutriggerSupport builds for local businesses and organizations — a calculator that compares YSPSC electricity bills across prepaid and postpaid, and across billing periods, so customers can see what a bill would look like before it arrives.

Prepaid vs. postpaid, month vs. month

Set up two scenarios and compare the total. Useful for checking whether to stock up on cash power before next month's fuel cost changes, or whether postpaid would actually cost less.

Scenario A Baseline

The bill you're comparing from.

VS

Scenario B Compare to

The bill you want to check against Scenario A.

How this is calculated & what to double-check

This tool currently covers January–August 2026. January through June are billed on the pre-July tariff; July and August use the new tariff with YSPSC's officially published Variable Fuel Cost for that month — the VFC field fills in automatically once you pick a month.

January–June 2026 (source: YSPSC's Nov 2023 published tariff schedule), both prepaid and postpaid customers were billed on an increasing-block schedule — each kWh block is charged at its own rate:

  • Residential: 0–50 kWh at $0.3712, 51–250 kWh at $0.4242, 251+ kWh at $0.4507. Monthly service charge $2.50.
  • Commercial: 0–1,000 kWh at $0.4507, 1,000+ kWh at $0.5303. Monthly service charge $5.00.
  • Government: flat $0.7683/kWh. Monthly service charge not published separately — defaulted to $5.00 here; please confirm with YSPSC.
  • Streetlight: $8.00/unit/month (private), $12.50/unit/month (government). The July 2026 notice doesn't mention streetlight charges changing, and it states unlisted terms carry over unchanged — so this tool applies the same streetlight rate to every month.

July–August 2026 (source: the May 27, 2026 tariff notice; this matches an actual bill example), usage is billed on the same increasing-block method as before — kWh within each bracket is charged at that bracket's own rate, not your whole usage at one rate. Each bracket's rate is NFC + VFC.

  • Residential: 0–100 kWh → NFC $0.16, above 100 kWh → NFC $0.24. FMC $5/month.
  • Commercial: 0–300 kWh → NFC $0.27, above 300 kWh → NFC $0.31. FMC is $20/month or $40/month based on a separate 3-month rolling average, not the current month's usage.
  • Government: flat NFC $0.53/kWh. FMC $40/month.
  • VFC (Variable Fuel Cost) is announced monthly and isn't fixed — this tool uses the published rate for each available month: July 2026 = $0.3023/kWh, August 2026 = $0.3961/kWh. You can still edit the field to test a hypothetical rate.
  • Commercial prepaid meters are discontinued from July 1, 2026 — all commercial customers must be postpaid from July onward.

Prepaid FMC: the fixed monthly charge is billed once, on the first cash power purchase of the month. This tool assumes the tier/rate for a prepaid purchase is based on that purchase's kWh amount, not a running monthly total — check with YSPSC customer service if your vending system tracks it differently.

"By amount ($)" mode: instead of entering kWh, you can enter a dollar amount — useful for comparing what the same cash power purchase would get you in different months. The tool assumes the full amount goes to energy after any fixed monthly charge and streetlight billing (on the first purchase) are deducted first, consistent with how prepaid purchases are billed. Actual vending system rounding may differ by a few cents.

This is an unofficial estimate tool, built by OutriggerSupport as a demonstration. For a legally accurate bill, contact YSPSC customer service at (691) 350-4427.
