Bill Pay Your Way
You've got options for a predictable monthly bill.
Sign up for our Budget Billing and Custom Due Date programs to get a set monthly bill amount and choose a payment due date range that works with your paydays or scheduled deposits.
Budget Billing
Residential customers can set their bill amount for 12 months at a time. Please remember—managing your use can minimize fluctuations in your bill, especially during the hot summer months.

We'll determine your set monthly bill amount for the first 12-month cycle based on:
- Your actual monthly average usage for the last 12 months.
- Any rate increases scheduled in the next 12 months.
If we owe you, a credit will be applied to the first bill of your new plan cycle. If you owe us, the amount will be distributed equally over the next 12 months as part of your new set monthly bill. We’ll show your new bill amount on the last bill of your current cycle.
Please note: Budget Billing is subject to review of payment history. Budget Billing isn't available to commercial and NEM customers.
Custom Due Date
Select a payment due date range that better matches your paydays or scheduled deposits.
- Choose a date range for your SMUD payment.
- We’ll adjust the date your bill is issued based on your preferred due date. Your exact due date may vary slightly outside of your selected range, depending on non-business days such as holidays.
- You'll still have the same amount of time to make your payment.
